#13,105
of 50,000 tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 23 granted patents across 36 technology areas, recorded in grant years 2015–2024. Grant-trend analysis is cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search; it does not measure application filings, current R&D, or legal strength. Primary class: H01M (PROCESSES OR MEANS, e.g. BATTERIES, FOR THE DIRECT CONVERSION OF CHEMICAL ENERGY INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY).
The verdict

What this shows Physical Sciences Inc. stamps GRANTS-SMALL, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-USCORP, VEL-DROP, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #13,105 of 50,000; Innovation Score 51.5/100 sits in the top 11% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Paddywax, Llc (±0 grants).
Physical Sciences Inc. has been granted 23 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Physical Sciences Inc. at #13,105 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 36 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01M (PROCESSES OR MEANS, e.g. BATTERIES, FOR THE DIRECT CONVERSION OF CHEMICAL ENERGY INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY). As a US Corporation, Physical Sciences Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Physical sits between Protechna S.a. (23 patents, rank #13,103) and Power Box Ag (23 patents, rank #13,111) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.5/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 6 grants, compared with 17 in the 2015–2019 window, a -65% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Physical Sciences Inc.'s 17.4 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 36 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
