Portfolio overview

Signiant Inc. has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Signiant Inc. at rank #25,263 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 27.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a US Corporation, Signiant Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Signiant sits between Siemens Healthineers Nederland B.v. (11 patents, rank #25,259) and Sintetica S.a. (11 patents, rank #25,267) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 33.7/100 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 4 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a -43% 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. Signiant Inc.'s 27.4 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 5 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Signiant Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Signiant's 11 grants land it in the top 55% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Signiant ranks #25,263 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in H04L - see who else leads that technology area. H04L leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
