The verdict
ET holds 6 US patents across 2 technology areas, rank #40,008 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
ET Water Systems, Inc. has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2015 and 2022, placing ET Water Systems, Inc. at rank #40,008 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 2 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 26.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01G (HORTICULTURE; CULTIVATION OF VEGETABLES, FLOWERS, RICE, FRUIT, VINES, HOPS OR SEAWEED; FORESTRY; WATERING). As a US Corporation, ET Water Systems, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, ET sits between Ericsson Modems Sa (6 patents, rank #40,004) and ETEX Building Performance International SAS (6 patents, rank #40,012) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 33.4/100 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 2 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a -50% 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. ET Water Systems, Inc.'s 26.5 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while specialization in 2 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ET Water Systems, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
ET's 6 grants land it in the top 56% 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.
