USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 9 granted patents across 2 technology areas, active 2018–2023. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: B05B (SPRAYING APPARATUS; ATOMISING APPARATUS; NOZZLES).
The verdict
Nebia holds 9 US patents across 2 technology areas, rank #29,583 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Nebia Inc. has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2018 and 2023, placing Nebia Inc. at rank #29,583 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 2 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in B05B (SPRAYING APPARATUS; ATOMISING APPARATUS; NOZZLES). As a US Corporation, Nebia Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Nebia sits between Naturesweet, Ltd. (9 patents, rank #29,579) and Neoculi Pty Ltd (9 patents, rank #29,587) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 21.2/100 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 3 grants, compared with 6 in the 2015–2019 window, a -50% 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. Nebia Inc.'s 11.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 2 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Nebia Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Nebia's 9 grants land it in the top 92% 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.
