What this shows Ip.access Limited stamps GRANTS-SMALL, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-NARROW, INNOV-THIN, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-DROP, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #12,991 of 50,000; Innovation Score 26.5/100 sits in the top 80% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Argenx BV (±0 grants).
Ip.access Limited has been granted 23 US utility patents between 2015 and 2021, placing Ip.access Limited at #12,991 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 3 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04W (WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS). As a Foreign Corporation, Ip.access Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, ip.access sits between Zhejiang Arru Pet Products Co., Ltd. (23 patents, rank #13,265) and 42maru Inc. (22 patents, rank #13,273) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 26.5/100 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. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 2 grants, compared with 21 in the 2015–2019 window, a -90% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. 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 Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Ip.access Limited's 15.7 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 3 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
