Portfolio overview

Hatch Ltd. has been granted 37 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Hatch Ltd. at rank #8,604 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 55 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 22.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in F27D (DETAILS OR ACCESSORIES OF FURNACES, KILNS, OVENS OR RETORTS, IN SO FAR AS THEY ARE OF KINDS OCCURRING IN MORE THAN ONE KIND OF FURNACE). As a Foreign Corporation, Hatch Ltd. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hatch sits between Hercules Llc (37 patents, rank #8,600) and IBC Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (37 patents, rank #8,608) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 52.8/100 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 13 grants, compared with 24 in the 2015–2019 window, a -46% 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. Hatch Ltd.'s 22.6 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 55 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Hatch Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
