Portfolio overview
Flybrid Automotive Limited has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2016 and 2020, placing Flybrid Automotive Limited at rank #46,890 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in F16F (SPRINGS; SHOCK-ABSORBERS; MEANS FOR DAMPING VIBRATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Flybrid Automotive Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Flybrid sits between Fluid Management Systems, Inc. (5 patents, rank #46,886) and Follicle, Inc. (5 patents, rank #46,894) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 28.6/100 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. 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 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. Flybrid Automotive Limited's 20.6 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Flybrid Automotive Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
