Portfolio overview
Design West Technologies, Inc. has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2017 and 2024, placing Design West Technologies, Inc. at rank #35,039 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES). As a US Corporation, Design West Technologies, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Design sits between Dentec Safety Specialists Inc. (7 patents, rank #35,035) and Dexcare, Inc. (7 patents, rank #35,043) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 30.0/100 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 5 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +150% 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. Design West Technologies, Inc.'s 13.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Design West Technologies, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Design's 7 grants land it in the top 67% 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 - Design ranks #35,039 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
- Most of this portfolio concentrates in G01N - see who else leads that technology area. G01N 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.
