Portfolio overview

HLI Solutions, Inc. has been granted 54 US utility patents between 2023 and 2025, placing HLI Solutions, Inc. at #6,246 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 23 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in F21V (FUNCTIONAL FEATURES OR DETAILS OF LIGHTING DEVICES OR SYSTEMS THEREOF; STRUCTURAL COMBINATIONS OF LIGHTING DEVICES WITH OTHER ARTICLES, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a US Federal Government, HLI Solutions, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, HLI sits between Frore Systems Inc. (54 patents, rank #6,240) and Intrado Corporation (54 patents, rank #6,248) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 58.0/100 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. Historical data spans 2023 through 2025, with 54 total grants over that period. 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 Federal Government classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.

Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. HLI Solutions, Inc.'s 12.0 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 23 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
