Portfolio overview

ETAK Systems, Llc has been granted 72 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing ETAK Systems, Llc at rank #4,815 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 31 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in B64U (UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES [UAV]; EQUIPMENT THEREFOR). As a US Corporation, ETAK Systems, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, ETAK sits between Connaught Electronics Ltd. (72 patents, rank #4,811) and GE Hybrid Technologies, Llc (72 patents, rank #4,819) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 45.5/100 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 33 grants, compared with 39 in the 2015–2019 window, a -15% 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. ETAK Systems, Llc's 16.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 31 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ETAK Systems, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
