Portfolio overview

Comet Biorefining Inc. has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Comet Biorefining Inc. at rank #39,631 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in C08B (POLYSACCHARIDES; DERIVATIVES THEREOF). As a Foreign Corporation, Comet Biorefining Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Comet sits between Colorescience, Inc. (6 patents, rank #39,627) and Compass Systems & Sales, Llc (6 patents, rank #39,635) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 37.2/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 6 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. The Foreign 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. Comet Biorefining Inc.'s 18.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 13 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Comet Biorefining Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
