Portfolio overview

Smart Wires Inc. has been granted 76 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Smart Wires Inc. at rank #4,646 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 37 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in H02J (CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENTS OR SYSTEMS FOR SUPPLYING OR DISTRIBUTING ELECTRIC POWER; SYSTEMS FOR STORING ELECTRIC ENERGY). As a US Corporation, Smart Wires Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Smart sits between Shanghai Research Institute OF Petrochemical Technology, Sinopec (76 patents, rank #4,642) and TODA Kogyo Corp. (76 patents, rank #4,650) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 58.0/100 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 61 grants, compared with 15 in the 2015–2019 window, a +307% 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. Smart Wires Inc.'s 19.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 37 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Smart Wires Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
