Portfolio overview

Nanogram Corporation has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2015 and 2016, placing Nanogram Corporation at rank #29,574 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 28 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.8 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, Nanogram Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Nanogram sits between Nammi Therapeutics, Inc. (9 patents, rank #29,570) and National Institute Of Advanced Industrial Science (9 patents, rank #29,578) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 36.7/100 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 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. Nanogram Corporation's 16.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 28 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Nanogram Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
