USPTO PatentsView assignee record — 40 granted patents across 24 technology areas, active 2022–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G02B (OPTICAL ELEMENTS, SYSTEMS OR APPARATUS).
The verdict
Openlight holds 40 US patents across 24 technology areas — rank #8,090 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
OpenLight Photonics, Inc. has been granted 40 US utility patents between 2022 and 2025, placing OpenLight Photonics, Inc. at rank #8,090 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 24 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in G02B (OPTICAL ELEMENTS, SYSTEMS OR APPARATUS). As a US Corporation, OpenLight Photonics, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 61.1/100 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. Historical data spans 2022 through 2025, with 40 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. OpenLight Photonics, Inc.'s 18.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 24 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark OpenLight Photonics, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Openlight's 40 grants land it in the top 3% by Innovation Score — but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
Patent counts and the Innovation Score measure patenting activity — not commercial success or the legal strength of any patent. Many patents are filed defensively. Verify the status of an individual patent against official USPTO records.
