Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 7 granted patents across 4 technology areas, active 2017–2023. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION).
The verdict
Mission holds 7 US patents across 4 technology areas, rank #36,401 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Mission Secure, Inc. has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2017 and 2023, placing Mission Secure, Inc. at rank #36,401 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 23.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a US Corporation, Mission Secure, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Mission sits between Minigraphics, Inc. (7 patents, rank #36,397) and MK Electron Co., Ltd. (7 patents, rank #36,405) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 31.6/100 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 4 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +33% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Mission Secure, Inc.'s 23.4 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while specialization in 4 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Mission Secure, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Mission's 7 grants land it in the top 62% 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.
