Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 5 granted patents across 6 technology areas, active 2020–2023. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: F16L (PIPES; JOINTS OR FITTINGS FOR PIPES; SUPPORTS FOR PIPES, CABLES OR PROTECTIVE TUBING; MEANS FOR THERMAL INSULATION IN GENERAL).
The verdict
Faster holds 5 US patents across 6 technology areas, rank #46,676 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Faster S.r.l. has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2020 and 2023, placing Faster S.r.l. at rank #46,676 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 6 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in F16L (PIPES; JOINTS OR FITTINGS FOR PIPES; SUPPORTS FOR PIPES, CABLES OR PROTECTIVE TUBING; MEANS FOR THERMAL INSULATION IN GENERAL). As a Foreign Corporation, Faster S.r.l. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Faster sits between Fanhattan, Inc. (5 patents, rank #46,672) and Fatigue Technology, Inc. (5 patents, rank #46,680) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 26.7/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2023, with 5 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. The Foreign 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. Faster S.r.l.'s 12.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 6 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Faster S.r.l. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Faster's 5 grants land it in the top 79% 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.
