Portfolio overview

RETAILMENOT, INC. has been granted 56 US utility patents between 2017 and 2024, placing RETAILMENOT, INC. at rank #6,067 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 6 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 25.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06Q (INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY [ICT] SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE, COMMERCIAL, FINANCIAL, MANAGERIAL OR SUPERVISORY PURPOSES; SYSTEMS OR METHODS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE,). As a US Corporation, RETAILMENOT, INC. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 39.6/100 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 34 grants, compared with 22 in the 2015–2019 window — a +55% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. RETAILMENOT, INC.'s 25.9 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 RETAILMENOT, INC. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
