Federal CARD Services, Llc has been granted 14 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Federal CARD Services, Llc at #19,762 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06K (GRAPHICAL DATA READING ; PRESENTATION OF DATA; RECORD CARRIERS; HANDLING RECORD CARRIERS). As a US Corporation, Federal CARD Services, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Federal sits between F-1 Research Llc—patent Series (14 patents, rank #19,754) and Firstface Co., Ltd. (14 patents, rank #19,762) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 46.3/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 14 total grants over that period. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Federal CARD Services, Llc's 15.1 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 5 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
