Portfolio overview

FINGERPRINT CARDS AB has been granted 125 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing FINGERPRINT CARDS AB at rank #3,035 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 30 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06V (IMAGE OR VIDEO RECOGNITION OR UNDERSTANDING). As a Foreign Corporation, FINGERPRINT CARDS AB is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 46.2/100 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 41 grants, compared with 84 in the 2015–2019 window — a -51% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. FINGERPRINT CARDS AB's 16.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 30 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark FINGERPRINT CARDS AB against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
