Portfolio overview
ID Development Limited has been granted 13 US utility patents between 2017 and 2024, placing ID Development Limited at rank #21,250 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 4.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in B62K (CYCLES; CYCLE FRAMES; CYCLE STEERING DEVICES; RIDER-OPERATED TERMINAL CONTROLS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR CYCLES; CYCLE AXLE SUSPENSIONS; CYCLE SIDE-CARS, FORECARS, OR THE LIKE). As a Foreign Corporation, ID Development Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 36.5/100 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 11 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +450% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. ID Development Limited's 4.2 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 4 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ID Development Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
