#5,794
Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 59 granted patents across 9 technology areas, active 2015–2022. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION).
The verdict
Sitting holds 59 US patents across 9 technology areas, rank #5,794 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Sitting MAN, Llc has been granted 59 US utility patents between 2015 and 2022, placing Sitting MAN, Llc at rank #5,794 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 9 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 56.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a US Corporation, Sitting MAN, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Sitting sits between Rebellion Photonics, Inc. (59 patents, rank #5,790) and Spectra Logic Corporation (59 patents, rank #5,798) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 39.9/100 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 23 grants, compared with 36 in the 2015–2019 window, a -36% 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. Sitting MAN, Llc's 56.1 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 9 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Sitting MAN, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Sitting's 59 grants land it in the top 37% 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.
