Portfolio overview

Flocon, Inc. has been granted 13 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Flocon, Inc. at rank #21,125 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 9 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in B43K (IMPLEMENTS FOR WRITING OR DRAWING). As a US Corporation, Flocon, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Flocon sits between Ficosa ADAS, S.l.u. (13 patents, rank #21,121) and FOUR PAWS Products, Ltd. (13 patents, rank #21,129) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 30.2/100 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 8 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a +60% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Flocon, Inc.'s 11.9 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 9 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Flocon, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
