Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 9 granted patents across 3 technology areas, active 2016–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: B01L (CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL LABORATORY APPARATUS FOR GENERAL USE).
The verdict
MESA holds 9 US patents across 3 technology areas, rank #29,377 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
MESA Biotech Llc has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing MESA Biotech Llc at rank #29,377 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 3 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 25.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in B01L (CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL LABORATORY APPARATUS FOR GENERAL USE). As a US Corporation, MESA Biotech Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, MESA sits between MEMS Start, Llc (9 patents, rank #29,373) and Michael TODD Beauty Lp (9 patents, rank #29,381) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 45.7/100 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 6 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +100% 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. MESA Biotech Llc's 25.9 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while specialization in 3 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark MESA Biotech Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
MESA's 9 grants land it in the top 22% 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.
