Portfolio overview

FreeWheel Media, Inc. has been granted 28 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing FreeWheel Media, Inc. at rank #10,930 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 6 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 22.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04N (PICTORIAL COMMUNICATION, e.g. TELEVISION). As a US Corporation, FreeWheel Media, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 53.5/100 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. Historical data spans 2021 through 2025, with 28 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. FreeWheel Media, Inc.'s 22.1 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 6 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark FreeWheel Media, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
