Portfolio overview

IBS Of America has been granted 17 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing IBS Of America at rank #16,873 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 3 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in D21F (PAPER-MAKING MACHINES; METHODS OF PRODUCING PAPER THEREON). As a US Corporation, IBS Of America is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, IBS sits between Hytrust, Inc. (17 patents, rank #16,869) and IMS Health Incorporated (17 patents, rank #16,877) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 38.6/100 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 7 grants, compared with 10 in the 2015–2019 window, a -30% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. IBS Of America's 19.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 3 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark IBS Of America against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

IBS's 17 grants land it in the top 40% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - IBS ranks #16,873 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in D21F - see who else leads that technology area. D21F leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
