What this shows Digital 14 Llc stamps GRANTS-MICRO, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-NARROW, INNOV-THIN, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, SPAN-YRS, BOOK-RICH. Volume places it #16,731 of 50,000; Innovation Score 30.7/100 sits in the top 65% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Decor Grates Incorporated (±0 grants).
Digital 14 Llc has been granted 17 US utility patents between 2020 and 2023, placing Digital 14 Llc at #16,731 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Digital 14 Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Digital sits between Decor Grates Incorporated (17 patents, rank #16,724) and DOWA IP Creation Co., Ltd. (17 patents, rank #16,732) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 30.7/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Historical data spans 2020 through 2023, with 17 total grants over that period. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Digital 14 Llc's 15.3 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 5 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
