The verdict
Oyster holds 6 US patents across 1 technology areas, rank #42,113 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Oyster Optics Llc has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2017 and 2020, placing Oyster Optics Llc at rank #42,113 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 1 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04B (TRANSMISSION). As a US Corporation, Oyster Optics Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Oyster sits between Owkin France SAS (6 patents, rank #42,109) and Observe Medical Aps (6 patents, rank #42,117) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 20.4/100 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 3 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +0% 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. Oyster Optics Llc's 16.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 1 subclass reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Oyster Optics Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Oyster's 6 grants land it in the top 93% 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.
