Portfolio overview
Second Sight Data Discovery, Inc. has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2023 and 2024, placing Second Sight Data Discovery, Inc. at rank #30,143 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 3 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a US Corporation, Second Sight Data Discovery, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Second sits between Schrödinger, Llc (9 patents, rank #30,139) and Semi Conductor Devices—an Elbit Systems-rafael Partnership (9 patents, rank #30,147) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 45.1/100 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 2023 through 2024, with 9 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. Second Sight Data Discovery, Inc.'s 18.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 3 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Second Sight Data Discovery, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
