Portfolio overview
Otto Torpedo Company has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2017 and 2022, placing Otto Torpedo Company at rank #36,857 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 6 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in E21B (EARTH OR ROCK DRILLING; OBTAINING OIL, GAS, WATER, SOLUBLE OR MELTABLE MATERIALS OR A SLURRY OF MINERALS FROM WELLS). As a US Corporation, Otto Torpedo Company is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Otto sits between Orthopeutics, L.p. (7 patents, rank #36,853) and Owl Cameras, Inc. (7 patents, rank #36,861) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 27.0/100 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 4 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +33% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Otto Torpedo Company's 15.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 6 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Otto Torpedo Company against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
