USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 115 granted patents across 10 technology areas, active 2016–2023. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G06N (COMPUTING ARRANGEMENTS BASED ON SPECIFIC COMPUTATIONAL MODELS).
The verdict
Cognitive holds 115 US patents across 10 technology areas, rank #3,249 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Cognitive Scale, Inc. has been granted 115 US utility patents between 2016 and 2023, placing Cognitive Scale, Inc. at rank #3,249 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06N (COMPUTING ARRANGEMENTS BASED ON SPECIFIC COMPUTATIONAL MODELS). As a US Corporation, Cognitive Scale, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Cognitive sits between Aledia (115 patents, rank #3,245) and Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum (115 patents, rank #3,253) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 35.8/100 blends portfolio volume, filing velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Filing cadence tells the strategic story. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 60 grants, compared with 55 in the 2015–2019 window, a +9% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. The US Corporation classification further shapes interpretation, since corporate, government, and individual filers pursue patents for materially different reasons.
Claim depth and technology breadth together indicate competitive posture. Cognitive Scale, Inc.'s 11.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Cognitive Scale, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Cognitive's 115 grants land it in the top 48% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
Patent counts and the Innovation Score measure patenting activity, not commercial success or the legal strength of any patent. Many patents are filed defensively. Verify the status of an individual patent against official USPTO records.
