Portfolio overview

DATA Scape Ltd. has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2016 and 2020, placing DATA Scape Ltd. at rank #24,180 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 6 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 24.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in G11B (INFORMATION STORAGE BASED ON RELATIVE MOVEMENT BETWEEN RECORD CARRIER AND TRANSDUCER). As a Foreign Corporation, DATA Scape Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, DATA sits between Daejoo Electronic Materials Co., Ltd. (11 patents, rank #24,176) and Denso Marston Ltd. (11 patents, rank #24,184) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 32.1/100 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 2 grants, compared with 9 in the 2015–2019 window, a -78% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. DATA Scape Ltd.'s 24.8 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 6 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark DATA Scape Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

DATA's 11 grants land it in the top 60% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - DATA ranks #24,180 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in G11B - see who else leads that technology area. G11B leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
