#16,021
of 50,000 tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 18 granted patents across 17 technology areas, recorded in grant years 2015–2025. Grant-trend analysis is cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search; it does not measure application filings, current R&D, or legal strength. Primary class: G01B (MEASURING LENGTH, THICKNESS OR SIMILAR LINEAR DIMENSIONS; MEASURING ANGLES; MEASURING AREAS; MEASURING IRREGULARITIES OF SURFACES OR CONTOURS).
The verdict

What this shows Fogale Nanotech stamps GRANTS-MICRO, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-SURGE, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #16,021 of 50,000; Innovation Score 41.5/100 sits in the top 33% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is FBD Partnership, L.p. (±0 grants).
Fogale Nanotech has been granted 18 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Fogale Nanotech at #16,021 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 17 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01B (MEASURING LENGTH, THICKNESS OR SIMILAR LINEAR DIMENSIONS; MEASURING ANGLES; MEASURING AREAS; MEASURING IRREGULARITIES OF SURFACES OR CONTOURS). As a Foreign Corporation, Fogale Nanotech is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Fogale sits between FBD Partnership, L.p. (18 patents, rank #16,009) and Framery OY (18 patents, rank #16,017) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.5/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 14 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +367% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Fogale Nanotech's 16.8 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 17 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
