Portfolio overview
Flomax International, Inc. has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2017 and 2020, placing Flomax International, Inc. at rank #46,878 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y10T (TECHNICAL SUBJECTS COVERED BY FORMER US CLASSIFICATION). As a US Corporation, Flomax International, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Flomax sits between Flitelogix, Llc (5 patents, rank #46,874) and Flow Polymers, Llc (5 patents, rank #46,882) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 21.7/100 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 1 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a -75% 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. Flomax International, Inc.'s 12.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 5 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Flomax International, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
