Owl Cyber Defense Solutions, Llc has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2017 and 2021, placing Owl Cyber Defense Solutions, Llc at rank #29,697 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 6 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a US Corporation, Owl Cyber Defense Solutions, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Owl sits between Ouidad Licensing Llc (9 patents, rank #29,693) and P-duke Technology Co., Ltd. (9 patents, rank #29,701) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 29.0/100 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 1 grants, compared with 8 in the 2015–2019 window, a -87% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Owl Cyber Defense Solutions, Llc's 20.7 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 6 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Owl Cyber Defense Solutions, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
