Portfolio overview

COOK MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC has been granted 1,327 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing COOK MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC at rank #323 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 88 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61F (FILTERS IMPLANTABLE INTO BLOOD VESSELS; PROSTHESES; DEVICES PROVIDING PATENCY TO, OR PREVENTING COLLAPSING OF, TUBULAR STRUCTURES OF THE BODY, e.g. STENTS; ORTHOPAEDIC, NURSING OR CONTRACEPTIVE DEVICE). As a US Corporation, COOK MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 62.4/100 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 330 grants, compared with 997 in the 2015–2019 window — a -67% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. COOK MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC's 17.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 88 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark COOK MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
