USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 8 granted patents across 4 technology areas, active 2020–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G02B (OPTICAL ELEMENTS, SYSTEMS OR APPARATUS).
The verdict
Draka holds 8 US patents across 4 technology areas, rank #31,461 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Draka Comteq France has been granted 8 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Draka Comteq France at rank #31,461 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in G02B (OPTICAL ELEMENTS, SYSTEMS OR APPARATUS). As a Foreign Corporation, Draka Comteq France is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Draka sits between Dongguan Jierui Sports Goods Co., Ltd. (8 patents, rank #31,457) and Dubois Chemicals, Inc. (8 patents, rank #31,465) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 26.2/100 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 2025, with 8 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Draka Comteq France's 17.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 4 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Draka Comteq France against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Draka's 8 grants land it in the top 80% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
