Portfolio overview

Election Systems & Software, Llc has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2015 and 2022, placing Election Systems & Software, Llc at rank #24,241 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 28.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in G07C (TIME OR ATTENDANCE REGISTERS; REGISTERING OR INDICATING THE WORKING OF MACHINES; GENERATING RANDOM NUMBERS; VOTING OR LOTTERY APPARATUS; ARRANGEMENTS, SYSTEMS OR APPARATUS FOR CHECKING NOT PROVIDED FO). As a US Corporation, Election Systems & Software, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Election sits between Ecovap, Inc. (11 patents, rank #24,237) and Ems-chemie Ag (11 patents, rank #24,245) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 37.0/100 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 4 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a -43% 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. Election Systems & Software, Llc's 28.9 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Election Systems & Software, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
