Portfolio overview
Microseismic, Inc. has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2015 and 2019, placing Microseismic, Inc. at rank #29,474 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 2 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01V (GEOPHYSICS; GRAVITATIONAL MEASUREMENTS; DETECTING MASSES OR OBJECTS; TAGS). As a US Corporation, Microseismic, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Microseismic sits between Mettler-toledo Garvens Gmbh (9 patents, rank #29,470) and Minnesota Medical Physics Llc (9 patents, rank #29,478) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 19.4/100 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 0 grants, compared with 9 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Microseismic, Inc.'s 10.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 2 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Microseismic, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
