Nexus Photonics, Inc has been granted 17 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Nexus Photonics, Inc at #17,037 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 7 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in G02B (OPTICAL ELEMENTS, SYSTEMS OR APPARATUS). As a US Corporation, Nexus Photonics, Inc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Nexus sits between NEW Power Plasma Co., Ltd. (17 patents, rank #17,018) and Nippon Paint Holdings Co., Ltd. (17 patents, rank #17,026) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.4/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 17 total grants over that period. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Nexus Photonics, Inc's 14.5 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 7 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
