Portfolio overview

OAV Equipment AND Tools, Inc. has been granted 14 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing OAV Equipment AND Tools, Inc. at rank #20,178 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 17 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in B27D (WORKING VENEER OR PLYWOOD). As a Foreign Corporation, OAV Equipment AND Tools, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, OAV sits between Nutech Spine, Inc. (14 patents, rank #20,174) and Ocean Optics, Inc. (14 patents, rank #20,182) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 42.1/100 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 9 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a +80% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. OAV Equipment AND Tools, Inc.'s 8.1 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 17 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark OAV Equipment AND Tools, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
