Portfolio overview

FRAM Group IP, Llc has been granted 28 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing FRAM Group IP, Llc at rank #10,924 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01T (SPARK GAPS; OVERVOLTAGE ARRESTERS USING SPARK GAPS; SPARKING PLUGS; CORONA DEVICES; GENERATING IONS TO BE INTRODUCED INTO NON-ENCLOSED GASES). As a US Corporation, FRAM Group IP, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, FRAM sits between Establishment Labs S.a. (28 patents, rank #10,920) and Firefly Automatix, Inc. (28 patents, rank #10,928) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 33.5/100 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 20 in the 2015–2019 window, a -60% 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. FRAM Group IP, Llc's 11.9 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 14 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark FRAM Group IP, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
