Portfolio overview

Mentor Acquisition One, LLC has been granted 181 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Mentor Acquisition One, LLC at rank #2,174 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 29 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in G02B (OPTICAL ELEMENTS, SYSTEMS OR APPARATUS). As a US Corporation, Mentor Acquisition One, LLC is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 58.5/100 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 173 grants, compared with 8 in the 2015–2019 window — a +2063% 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. Mentor Acquisition One, LLC's 17.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 29 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Mentor Acquisition One, LLC against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
