Portfolio overview
Nanotronics Imaging, Inc. has been granted 126 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Nanotronics Imaging, Inc. at rank #3,021 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 28 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in G02B (OPTICAL ELEMENTS, SYSTEMS OR APPARATUS). As a US Corporation, Nanotronics Imaging, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 61.0/100 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 110 grants, compared with 16 in the 2015–2019 window — a +588% 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. Nanotronics Imaging, Inc.'s 18.5 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 Nanotronics Imaging, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
