Portfolio overview
Databuoy Corporation has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing Databuoy Corporation at rank #24,199 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 22.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01S (RADIO DIRECTION-FINDING; RADIO NAVIGATION; DETERMINING DISTANCE OR VELOCITY BY USE OF RADIO WAVES; LOCATING OR PRESENCE-DETECTING BY USE OF THE REFLECTION OR RERADIATION OF RADIO WAVES; ANALOGOUS ARRA). As a US Corporation, Databuoy Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Databuoy sits between Drebo Werkzeugfabrik Gmbh (11 patents, rank #24,195) and Delta Enterprise Corp. (11 patents, rank #24,203) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 35.9/100 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 9 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +350% 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. Databuoy Corporation's 22.6 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while specialization in 4 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Databuoy Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
