USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 98 granted patents across 6 technology areas, active 2015–2021. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: C07D (HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS).
The verdict
Samumed holds 98 US patents across 6 technology areas, rank #3,716 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Samumed, Llc has been granted 98 US utility patents between 2015 and 2021, placing Samumed, Llc at rank #3,716 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 6 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 28.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in C07D (HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS). As a US Corporation, Samumed, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Samumed sits between Qingdao Haier Refrigerator Co., Ltd. (98 patents, rank #3,712) and Valmet AB (98 patents, rank #3,720) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 39.5/100 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 24 grants, compared with 74 in the 2015–2019 window, a -68% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Samumed, Llc's 28.6 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 Samumed, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Samumed's 98 grants land it in the top 38% 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.
