Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 87 granted patents across 49 technology areas, active 2019–2021. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: B64B (LIGHTER-THAN AIR AIRCRAFT).
The verdict
Loon holds 87 US patents across 49 technology areas, rank #4,123 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Loon Llc has been granted 87 US utility patents between 2019 and 2021, placing Loon Llc at rank #4,123 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 49 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in B64B (LIGHTER-THAN AIR AIRCRAFT). As a US Corporation, Loon Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Loon sits between Hunter's Manufacturing Company, Inc. (87 patents, rank #4,119) and Objectvideo Labs, Llc (87 patents, rank #4,127) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.7/100 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 56 grants, compared with 31 in the 2015–2019 window, a +81% 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. Loon Llc's 19.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 49 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Loon Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Loon's 87 grants land it in the top 11% 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.
