Portfolio overview

Space DATA Corporation has been granted 15 US utility patents between 2016 and 2021, placing Space DATA Corporation at rank #19,131 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 23.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in B64B (LIGHTER-THAN AIR AIRCRAFT). As a US Corporation, Space DATA Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Space sits between SMS Siemag Ag (15 patents, rank #19,127) and ST. JUDE Medical Luxembourg Holdings II S.a.r.l. ( (15 patents, rank #19,135) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 37.5/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 4 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window, a -64% 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. Space DATA Corporation's 23.8 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 15 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Space DATA Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
