Portfolio overview

Nora Lighting, Inc. has been granted 25 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Nora Lighting, Inc. at #12,141 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 2 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 2.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in F21S (NON-PORTABLE LIGHTING DEVICES; SYSTEMS THEREOF; VEHICLE LIGHTING DEVICES SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR VEHICLE EXTERIORS). As a US Corporation, Nora Lighting, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Nora sits between National Coupling Company, Inc. (25 patents, rank #12,137) and OBP Medical Corporation (25 patents, rank #12,145) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 20.6/100 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. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 14 grants, compared with 9 in the 2015–2019 window, a +56% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. 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. Nora Lighting, Inc.'s 2.4 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 2 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
