Overall rank by patents
#7,877
of 50,000 tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 41 granted patents across 13 technology areas, recorded in grant years 2015–2022. 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: H05B (ELECTRIC HEATING; ELECTRIC LIGHT SOURCES NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENTS FOR ELECTRIC LIGHT SOURCES, IN GENERAL).
The verdict
According to USPTO PatentsView, LIFI ranks #7,877 of 50,000 tracked US assignees by granted-patent volume, with 41 patents across 13 technology areas.
LIFI Labs, Inc. has been granted 41 US utility patents between 2015 and 2022, placing LIFI Labs, Inc. at #7,877 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H05B (ELECTRIC HEATING; ELECTRIC LIGHT SOURCES NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENTS FOR ELECTRIC LIGHT SOURCES, IN GENERAL). As a US Corporation, LIFI Labs, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, LIFI sits between Korea FOOD Research Institute (41 patents, rank #7,872) and Liveramp, Inc. (41 patents, rank #7,880) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 35.5/100 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 14 grants, compared with 27 in the 2015–2019 window, a -48% 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 US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. LIFI Labs, Inc.'s 13.5 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 13 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
LIFI's 41 grants land it in the top 49% 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.
