Portfolio overview

Rooftop Research, Llc has been granted 17 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Rooftop Research, Llc at rank #17,134 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in B05C (APPARATUS FOR APPLYING FLUENT MATERIALS TO SURFACES, IN GENERAL). As a US Corporation, Rooftop Research, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Rooftop sits between Rocket Innovations, Inc. (17 patents, rank #17,130) and Rovi Solutions Corporation (17 patents, rank #17,138) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 42.0/100 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 12 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a +140% 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. Rooftop Research, Llc's 18.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Rooftop Research, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
