As a US Corporation, Hey Buddy Hey Pal Investments Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hey sits between Hero Defense System, Llc (5 patents, rank #47,499) and Highlevel Inc. (5 patents, rank #47,507) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 38.7/100 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 2022 through 2024, with 5 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. Hey Buddy Hey Pal Investments Llc's 6.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 6 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Hey Buddy Hey Pal Investments Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Hey's 5 grants land it in the top 40% 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.
