The verdict
NDSL holds 9 US patents across 8 technology areas, rank #29,522 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
NDSL, Inc. has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2016 and 2024, placing NDSL, Inc. at rank #29,522 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 30.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in H02J (CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENTS OR SYSTEMS FOR SUPPLYING OR DISTRIBUTING ELECTRIC POWER; SYSTEMS FOR STORING ELECTRIC ENERGY). As a US Corporation, NDSL, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, NDSL sits between Nationwide Industries, Inc. (9 patents, rank #29,518) and Neuro-bio Ltd (9 patents, rank #29,526) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 46.3/100 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 6 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +100% 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. NDSL, Inc.'s 30.7 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark NDSL, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
NDSL's 9 grants land it in the top 21% 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.
