USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 7 granted patents across 7 technology areas, active 2022–2024. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search.

The verdict
Smartcom holds 7 US patents across 7 technology areas, rank #37,443 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Smartcom LABS OY has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2022 and 2024, placing Smartcom LABS OY at rank #37,443 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 7 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 35.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06Q (INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY [ICT] SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE, COMMERCIAL, FINANCIAL, MANAGERIAL OR SUPERVISORY PURPOSES; SYSTEMS OR METHODS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE,). As a Foreign Corporation, Smartcom LABS OY is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Smartcom sits between Small Machines (7 patents, rank #37,439) and SNJ Patents, Llc (7 patents, rank #37,447) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.5/100 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 2022 through 2024, with 7 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. The Foreign 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. Smartcom LABS OY's 35.6 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 7 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Smartcom LABS OY against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Smartcom's 7 grants land it in the top 11% 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.
