Portfolio overview

Hiptec AS has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2021 and 2024, placing Hiptec AS at rank #47,364 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in B22F (WORKING METALLIC POWDER; MANUFACTURE OF ARTICLES FROM METALLIC POWDER; MAKING METALLIC POWDER ; APPARATUS OR DEVICES SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR METALLIC POWDER). As a Foreign Corporation, Hiptec AS is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hiptec sits between Highlight Therapeutics, S.l. (5 patents, rank #47,360) and Hitachi Metals America, Ltd. (5 patents, rank #47,368) - 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. Historical data spans 2021 through 2024, with 5 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Hiptec AS's 13.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 15 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Hiptec AS against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
