Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 72 granted patents across 12 technology areas, active 2016–2025. 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
Sococo holds 72 US patents across 12 technology areas, rank #4,844 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Sococo, Llc has been granted 72 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Sococo, Llc at rank #4,844 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a US Corporation, Sococo, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Sococo sits between Shoei Chemical Inc. (72 patents, rank #4,840) and Tokiwa Corporation (72 patents, rank #4,848) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.4/100 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 50 grants, compared with 22 in the 2015–2019 window, a +127% 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. Sococo, Llc's 21.5 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Sococo, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Sococo's 72 grants land it in the top 17% 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.
