USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 64 granted patents across 26 technology areas, active 2018–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G03H (HOLOGRAPHIC PROCESSES OR APPARATUS).
The verdict
Light holds 64 US patents across 26 technology areas, rank #5,375 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Light Field Lab, Inc. has been granted 64 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing Light Field Lab, Inc. at rank #5,375 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 26 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 22.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in G03H (HOLOGRAPHIC PROCESSES OR APPARATUS). As a US Corporation, Light Field Lab, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Light sits between Knauf Gips KG (64 patents, rank #5,371) and Medtronic Vascular Galway Unlimited Company (64 patents, rank #5,379) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 58.6/100 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 62 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +3000% 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. Light Field Lab, Inc.'s 22.5 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 26 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Light Field Lab, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Light's 64 grants land it in the top 4% 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.
