Portfolio overview

DRAFTKINGS, INC. has been granted 31 US utility patents between 2020 and 2023, placing DRAFTKINGS, INC. at rank #10,012 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 9 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in G07F (COIN-FREED OR LIKE APPARATUS). As a US Corporation, DRAFTKINGS, INC. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 52.8/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2023, with 31 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. DRAFTKINGS, INC.'s 18.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 9 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark DRAFTKINGS, INC. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
