The verdict
Katana holds 11 US patents across 4 technology areas, rank #24,653 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Katana Safety, Inc. has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2018 and 2022, placing Katana Safety, Inc. at rank #24,653 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04M (TELEPHONIC COMMUNICATION). As a US Corporation, Katana Safety, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Katana sits between Kyung DONG ONE Corporation (11 patents, rank #24,649) and Kinetic Furniture Of Vermont Inc. (11 patents, rank #24,657) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 32.4/100 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 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a +75% 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. Katana Safety, Inc.'s 14.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 4 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Katana Safety, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Katana's 11 grants land it in the top 59% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
