Portfolio overview
Nooter/Eriksen, Inc. has been granted 18 US utility patents between 2016 and 2024, placing Nooter/Eriksen, Inc. at rank #16,247 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 25 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 26.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in F22B (METHODS OF STEAM GENERATION; STEAM BOILERS). As a US Corporation, Nooter/Eriksen, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 62.9/100 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 12 grants, compared with 6 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. Nooter/Eriksen, Inc.'s 26.8 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 25 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Nooter/Eriksen, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
