Where does I-TEN rank among US patent assignees?

According to USPTO PatentsView (2015–2025 granted utility patents), I-TEN ranks #17,766 of 49,997 assignees by granted-patent volume, the same sort as the companies listing and top-holders ranking. See /methodology/#corpus-placement.

How many patents does I-TEN hold?

I-TEN holds 16 US utility patents granted between 2017 and 2024, spanning 13 technology areas.

What is I-TEN's Innovation Score?

I-TEN has an Innovation Score of 39.4 out of 100 (top 38% of the corpus). This composite metric weighs portfolio volume (40%), grant velocity (20%), technology breadth (25%), and claim depth (15%).

What technology areas does I-TEN focus on?

I-TEN's top technology area is Y02E (Reduction OF Greenhouse GAS [GHG] Emissions, Related TO Energy Generation, Transmission OR Distribution) with 16 patents, ranking #856 of 5,963 assignees active in that subclass. Grants appear in 13 CPC subclasses total.

Is I-TEN's patent grant rate increasing or decreasing?

I-TEN's recent grant velocity is +67% compared to the prior five-year period (grant years, not application filing dates). This indicates accelerating grant output.

What does claim depth mean for I-TEN's patents?

I-TEN's patents average 18.5 claims each. This is an aggregate descriptive count from the grant record; it does not establish claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk.

How is the I-TEN patent data sourced?

All patent data comes from USPTO PatentsView, a public research dataset maintained by the United States Patent and Trademark Office covering US granted utility patents from 2015 to 2025.

What this shows I-ten's Innovation Score is 39.4/100 (top 38% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for I-ten?

Each dot is one of I-ten’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). I-ten’s own 18.5 claims/patent is at or below the 18.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where I-ten's grants concentrate

I-TEN is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under Y02E (Reduction OF Greenhouse GAS [GHG] Emissions, Related TO Energy Generation, Transmission OR Distribution). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, I-ten sits between Hubei University of Technology and Immunovaccine Technologies Inc..

I-ten's three-year grant acceleration

I-TEN shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
