Portfolio overview

DRIV Automotive Inc. has been granted 82 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing DRIV Automotive Inc. at rank #4,325 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 34 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60G (VEHICLE SUSPENSION ARRANGEMENTS). As a US Corporation, DRIV Automotive Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, DRIV sits between Byk-chemie Gmbh (82 patents, rank #4,321) and Frank's International, Llc (82 patents, rank #4,329) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 66.5/100 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 2021 through 2025, with 82 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. DRIV Automotive Inc.'s 17.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 34 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark DRIV Automotive Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
