Portfolio overview

Microtek Laboratories, Inc. has been granted 12 US utility patents between 2018 and 2024, placing Microtek Laboratories, Inc. at rank #22,950 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 19 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in C09K (MATERIALS FOR MISCELLANEOUS APPLICATIONS, NOT PROVIDED FOR ELSEWHERE). As a US Corporation, Microtek Laboratories, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Microtek sits between MHI Health Devices, Inc. (12 patents, rank #22,946) and Miramems Sensing Technology Co., Ltd. (12 patents, rank #22,954) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 39.9/100 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 5 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a -29% 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. Microtek Laboratories, Inc.'s 21.3 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 19 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Microtek Laboratories, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
