The verdict
KOCH holds 34 US patents across 16 technology areas, rank #9,295 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
KOCH Agronomic Services, Llc has been granted 34 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing KOCH Agronomic Services, Llc at rank #9,295 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 16 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in C05G (MIXTURES OF FERTILISERS COVERED INDIVIDUALLY BY DIFFERENT SUBCLASSES OF CLASS C05; MIXTURES OF ONE OR MORE FERTILISERS WITH MATERIALS NOT HAVING A SPECIFIC FERTILISING ACTIVITY, e.g. PESTICIDES, SOIL-). As a US Corporation, KOCH Agronomic Services, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, KOCH sits between Institut Fur Rundfunktechnik Gmbh (34 patents, rank #9,291) and Korea Internet & Security Agency (34 patents, rank #9,299) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 42.8/100 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 10 grants, compared with 24 in the 2015–2019 window, a -58% 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. KOCH Agronomic Services, Llc's 19.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 16 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark KOCH Agronomic Services, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
KOCH's 34 grants land it in the top 30% 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.
