The verdict
Shifamed holds 79 US patents across 17 technology areas, rank #4,489 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Shifamed Holdings, Llc has been granted 79 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Shifamed Holdings, Llc at rank #4,489 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 17 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61F (FILTERS IMPLANTABLE INTO BLOOD VESSELS; PROSTHESES; DEVICES PROVIDING PATENCY TO, OR PREVENTING COLLAPSING OF, TUBULAR STRUCTURES OF THE BODY, e.g. STENTS; ORTHOPAEDIC, NURSING OR CONTRACEPTIVE DEVICE). As a US Corporation, Shifamed Holdings, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Shifamed sits between Ranpak Corp. (79 patents, rank #4,485) and The University Court Of The University Of Edinburgh (79 patents, rank #4,493) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 53.7/100 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 67 grants, compared with 12 in the 2015–2019 window, a +458% 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. Shifamed Holdings, Llc's 20.5 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 17 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Shifamed Holdings, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Shifamed's 79 grants land it in the top 9% 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.
