Portfolio overview

Flyability Sa has been granted 8 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Flyability Sa at rank #31,629 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 16 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in B64U (UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES [UAV]; EQUIPMENT THEREFOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Flyability Sa is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Flyability sits between Flecotec Ag (8 patents, rank #31,625) and FOCI Fiber Optic Communications, Inc. (8 patents, rank #31,633) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 52.2/100 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 7 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +600% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Flyability Sa's 17.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 16 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Flyability Sa against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
