What this shows Heliotrope Technologies, Inc. stamps GRANTS-MICRO, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-THIN, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-USCORP, VEL-FLAT, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #15,338 of 50,000; Innovation Score 35.7/100 sits in the top 48% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Hangzhou Solipharma Co., Ltd. (±0 grants).
Heliotrope Technologies, Inc. has been granted 19 US utility patents between 2017 and 2022, placing Heliotrope Technologies, Inc. at #15,338 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in G02F (OPTICAL DEVICES OR ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE CONTROL OF LIGHT BY MODIFICATION OF THE OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF THE MEDIA OF THE ELEMENTS INVOLVED THEREIN; NON-LINEAR OPTICS; FREQUENCY-CHANGING OF LIGHT; OPTICA). As a US Corporation, Heliotrope Technologies, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Heliotrope sits between Hangzhou Solipharma Co., Ltd. (19 patents, rank #15,327) and Hetaida Technology Co., Ltd. (19 patents, rank #15,335) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 35.7/100 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 9 grants, compared with 10 in the 2015–2019 window, a -10% 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 US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Heliotrope Technologies, Inc.'s 18.7 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 10 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
