USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 161 granted patents across 22 technology areas, active 2017–2021. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G02B (OPTICAL ELEMENTS, SYSTEMS OR APPARATUS).
The verdict
Elenion holds 161 US patents across 22 technology areas, rank #2,419 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Elenion Technologies, Llc has been granted 161 US utility patents between 2017 and 2021, placing Elenion Technologies, Llc at rank #2,419 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 22 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G02B (OPTICAL ELEMENTS, SYSTEMS OR APPARATUS). As a US Corporation, Elenion Technologies, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Elenion sits between Sambanova Systems, Inc. (162 patents, rank #2,415) and ISP Investments Llc (161 patents, rank #2,423) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 44.4/100 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 58 grants, compared with 103 in the 2015–2019 window, a -44% 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. Elenion Technologies, Llc's 17.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 22 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Elenion Technologies, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Elenion's 161 grants land it in the top 26% 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.
