USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 18 granted patents across 12 technology areas, recorded in grant years 2015–2025. Grant-trend analysis is cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search; it does not measure application filings, current R&D, or legal strength. Primary class: B62J (CYCLE SADDLES OR SEATS; AUXILIARY DEVICES OR ACCESSORIES SPECIALLY ADAPTED TO CYCLES AND NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR, e.g. ARTICLE CARRIERS OR CYCLE PROTECTORS).

What this shows Knog Pty Ltd stamps GRANTS-MICRO, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-THIN, CLAIMS-SPARSE, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-DOWN, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #16,140 of 50,000; Innovation Score 25.1/100 sits in the top 84% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Kashiv Biosciences, Llc (±0 grants).
Knog Pty Ltd has been granted 18 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Knog Pty Ltd at #16,140 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 2.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in B62J (CYCLE SADDLES OR SEATS; AUXILIARY DEVICES OR ACCESSORIES SPECIALLY ADAPTED TO CYCLES AND NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR, e.g. ARTICLE CARRIERS OR CYCLE PROTECTORS). As a Foreign Corporation, Knog Pty Ltd is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Knog sits between Kurume University (18 patents, rank #16,140) and L-3 Communications Security & Detection Systems, Inc. (18 patents, rank #16,148) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 25.1/100 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 7 grants, compared with 10 in the 2015–2019 window, a -30% 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. Knog Pty Ltd's 2.9 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 12 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
