Early Morning Llc has been granted 79 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Early Morning Llc at rank #4,461 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 0 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 1.0 claims per patent. As a US Corporation, Early Morning Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Early sits between CSEM Centre Suisse D'electronique ET DE Microtechnique Sa—recherche ET Développement (79 patents, rank #4,457) and Exelis Inc. (79 patents, rank #4,465) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 21.4/100 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 50 grants, compared with 29 in the 2015–2019 window, a +72% 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. Early Morning Llc's 1.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 0 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Early Morning Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Early's 79 grants land it in the top 92% 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.
