This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in C12C (BEER; PREPARATION OF BEER BY FERMENTATION ; PREPARATION OF MALT FOR MAKING BEER; PREPARATION OF HOPS FOR MAKING BEER). As a US Corporation, PB Funding Group, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, PB sits between Parrable Inc. (10 patents, rank #27,063) and Perfect IP, Llc (10 patents, rank #27,071) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 39.8/100 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 2020 through 2023, with 10 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. PB Funding Group, Llc's 15.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark PB Funding Group, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
