USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 5 granted patents across 6 technology areas, active 2022–2024. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: D21F (PAPER-MAKING MACHINES; METHODS OF PRODUCING PAPER THEREON).
The verdict
First holds 5 US patents across 6 technology areas, rank #46,856 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
First Quality Tissue Se, Llc has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2022 and 2024, placing First Quality Tissue Se, Llc at rank #46,856 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 6 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in D21F (PAPER-MAKING MACHINES; METHODS OF PRODUCING PAPER THEREON). As a US Corporation, First Quality Tissue Se, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, First sits between Fireking Security Products, Llc (5 patents, rank #46,852) and Fiskars Home Oy Ab (5 patents, rank #46,860) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 46.6/100 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 2022 through 2024, with 5 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 Quality Tissue Se, Llc's 19.6 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 First Quality Tissue Se, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
First's 5 grants land it in the top 20% 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.
