Portfolio overview

ELC Management Llc has been granted 303 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing ELC Management Llc at rank #1,385 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 64 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 7.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a US Corporation, ELC Management Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, ELC sits between Pacific Biosciences OF California, Inc. (304 patents, rank #1,381) and Beijing DIDI Infinity Technology AND Development Co., Ltd. (302 patents, rank #1,389) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 59.5/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 138 grants, compared with 165 in the 2015–2019 window, a -16% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. ELC Management Llc's 7.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 64 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ELC Management Llc 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.
