Portfolio overview

Sunflower Labs Inc. has been granted 8 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Sunflower Labs Inc. at rank #33,476 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 22.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in B64U (UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES [UAV]; EQUIPMENT THEREFOR). As a US Corporation, Sunflower Labs Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Sunflower sits between Sumitomo Forestry Co., Ltd. (8 patents, rank #33,472) and Surana Brothers IP Holdings Limited (8 patents, rank #33,480) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.6/100 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 2020 through 2025, with 8 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Sunflower Labs Inc.'s 22.8 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 Sunflower Labs Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
