Portfolio overview

LIKO Research & Development AB has been granted 88 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing LIKO Research & Development AB at rank #4,091 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 34 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61G (TRANSPORT, PERSONAL CONVEYANCES, OR ACCOMMODATION SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR PATIENTS OR DISABLED PERSONS ; OPERATING TABLES OR CHAIRS; CHAIRS FOR DENTISTRY; FUNERAL DEVICES). As a Foreign Corporation, LIKO Research & Development AB is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, LIKO sits between Johnson Controls, Inc. (88 patents, rank #4,087) and Netscout Systems, Inc. (88 patents, rank #4,095) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.4/100 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 67 grants, compared with 21 in the 2015–2019 window, a +219% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The Foreign 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. LIKO Research & Development AB's 17.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 34 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark LIKO Research & Development AB against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
