Portfolio overview

Hood Technology Corporation has been granted 45 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Hood Technology Corporation at rank #7,275 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 20 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in B64U (UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES [UAV]; EQUIPMENT THEREFOR). As a US Corporation, Hood Technology Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hood sits between Haldex Brake Products Aktiebolag (45 patents, rank #7,271) and Intevac, Inc. (45 patents, rank #7,279) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 43.3/100 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 36 grants, compared with 9 in the 2015–2019 window, a +300% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Hood Technology Corporation's 19.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 20 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Hood Technology Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
