Portfolio overview

Spinal Elements, Inc. has been granted 130 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Spinal Elements, Inc. at rank #2,937 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). As a US Corporation, Spinal Elements, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 46.3/100 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 70 grants, compared with 60 in the 2015–2019 window — a +17% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Spinal Elements, Inc.'s 16.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 5 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Spinal Elements, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
