The verdict
Sigma holds 73 US patents across 4 technology areas, rank #4,790 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Sigma Computing, Inc. has been granted 73 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Sigma Computing, Inc. at rank #4,790 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, Sigma Computing, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Sigma sits between Prognosys Biosciences, Inc. (73 patents, rank #4,786) and Sequenom, Inc. (73 patents, rank #4,794) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 53.1/100 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 2020 through 2025, with 73 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. Sigma Computing, Inc.'s 18.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 4 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Sigma Computing, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Sigma's 73 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.
