Portfolio overview

Mercury Mission Systems, Llc has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2021 and 2024, placing Mercury Mission Systems, Llc at rank #26,877 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, Mercury Mission Systems, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Mercury sits between Medicenna Therapeutics Inc. (10 patents, rank #26,873) and Meteorcomm, Llc (10 patents, rank #26,881) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 49.3/100 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. Historical data spans 2021 through 2024, with 10 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Mercury Mission Systems, Llc's 15.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Mercury Mission Systems, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
