The verdict
First holds 89 US patents across 8 technology areas — rank #4,042 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
FIRST ORION CORP. has been granted 89 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing FIRST ORION CORP. at rank #4,042 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04M (TELEPHONIC COMMUNICATION). As a US Corporation, FIRST ORION CORP. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 51.2/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 89 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. FIRST ORION CORP.'s 18.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark FIRST ORION CORP. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
First's 89 grants land it in the top 12% 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.
