USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 30 granted patents across 16 technology areas, active 2017–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: B67D (DISPENSING, DELIVERING OR TRANSFERRING LIQUIDS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR).
The verdict
Fuel holds 30 US patents across 16 technology areas, rank #10,325 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Fuel Automation Station, Llc has been granted 30 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Fuel Automation Station, Llc at rank #10,325 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 16 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in B67D (DISPENSING, DELIVERING OR TRANSFERRING LIQUIDS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a US Corporation, Fuel Automation Station, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Fuel sits between FACC Ag (30 patents, rank #10,321) and Genapsys, Inc. (30 patents, rank #10,329) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 38.0/100 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 17 grants, compared with 13 in the 2015–2019 window, a +31% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Fuel Automation Station, Llc's 16.7 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 Fuel Automation Station, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Fuel's 30 grants land it in the top 42% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
