The verdict
Nanocomp holds 26 US patents across 37 technology areas, rank #11,749 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Nanocomp Technologies Inc. has been granted 26 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Nanocomp Technologies Inc. at rank #11,749 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 37 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in B82Y (SPECIFIC USES OR APPLICATIONS OF NANOSTRUCTURES; MEASUREMENT OR ANALYSIS OF NANOSTRUCTURES; MANUFACTURE OR TREATMENT OF NANOSTRUCTURES). As a US Corporation, Nanocomp Technologies Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Nanocomp sits between Northwest Instrument Inc. (26 patents, rank #11,745) and Norgren Automation Solutions, Llc (26 patents, rank #11,753) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.3/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 17 grants, compared with 9 in the 2015–2019 window, a +89% 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. Nanocomp Technologies Inc.'s 14.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 37 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Nanocomp Technologies Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Nanocomp's 26 grants land it in the top 12% 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.
