Where does Comet AG rank among US patent assignees?

According to USPTO PatentsView (2015–2025 granted utility patents), Comet AG ranks #10,900 of 49,997 assignees by granted-patent volume, the same sort as the companies listing and top-holders ranking. See /methodology/#corpus-placement.

How many patents does Comet AG hold?

Comet AG holds 28 US utility patents granted between 2016 and 2025, spanning 19 technology areas.

What is Comet AG's Innovation Score?

Comet AG has an Innovation Score of 56.7 out of 100 (top 6% of the corpus). This composite metric weighs portfolio volume (40%), grant velocity (20%), technology breadth (25%), and claim depth (15%).

What technology areas does Comet AG focus on?

Comet AG's top technology area is H01J (Electric Discharge Tubes OR Discharge Lamps) with 14 patents, ranking #152 of 1,076 assignees active in that subclass. Grants appear in 19 CPC subclasses total.

Is Comet AG's patent grant rate increasing or decreasing?

Comet AG's recent grant velocity is +171% compared to the prior five-year period (grant years, not application filing dates). This indicates accelerating grant output.

What does claim depth mean for Comet AG's patents?

Comet AG's patents average 16.0 claims each. This is an aggregate descriptive count from the grant record; it does not establish claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk.

How is the Comet AG patent data sourced?

All patent data comes from USPTO PatentsView, a public research dataset maintained by the United States Patent and Trademark Office covering US granted utility patents from 2015 to 2025.

What this shows Comet's Innovation Score is 56.7/100 (top 6% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Comet?

Each dot is one of Comet’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Comet’s own 16.0 claims/patent is at or below the 16.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Comet's grants concentrate

Comet AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under H01J (Electric Discharge Tubes OR Discharge Lamps). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Comet sits between Carbios and CUE Health Inc..

Comet's three-year grant acceleration

Comet AG shows 15 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
