The verdict
Federal holds 48 US patents across 21 technology areas, rank #6,892 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Federal Law Enforcement Development Services, Inc. has been granted 48 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing Federal Law Enforcement Development Services, Inc. at rank #6,892 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 21 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04B (TRANSMISSION). As a US Corporation, Federal Law Enforcement Development Services, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Federal sits between Eckart Gmbh (48 patents, rank #6,888) and GHSP, Inc. (48 patents, rank #6,896) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 42.1/100 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 16 grants, compared with 32 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. Federal Law Enforcement Development Services, Inc.'s 14.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 21 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Federal Law Enforcement Development Services, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Federal's 48 grants land it in the top 31% 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.
