Portfolio overview

Nerudia Limited has been granted 46 US utility patents between 2016 and 2023, placing Nerudia Limited at rank #7,170 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 5.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A24F (SMOKERS' REQUISITES; MATCH BOXES; SIMULATED SMOKING DEVICES). As a Foreign Corporation, Nerudia Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 33.7/100 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 17 grants, compared with 29 in the 2015–2019 window — a -41% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. The Foreign 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. Nerudia Limited's 5.2 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Nerudia Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
