The verdict
Compact holds 11 US patents across 14 technology areas, rank #24,152 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Compact Membrane Systems, Inc. has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Compact Membrane Systems, Inc. at rank #24,152 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in B01D (SEPARATION). As a US Corporation, Compact Membrane Systems, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Compact sits between Code On Network Coding, Llc (11 patents, rank #24,148) and Conductix Wampfler France (11 patents, rank #24,156) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 38.0/100 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 8 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +167% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Compact Membrane Systems, Inc.'s 18.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 14 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Compact Membrane Systems, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Compact's 11 grants land it in the top 42% 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.
