Portfolio overview

Sureflap Ltd. has been granted 8 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing Sureflap Ltd. at rank #33,481 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 3 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 4.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01K (ANIMAL HUSBANDRY; AVICULTURE; APICULTURE; PISCICULTURE; FISHING; REARING OR BREEDING ANIMALS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; NEW BREEDS OF ANIMALS). As a Foreign Corporation, Sureflap Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Sureflap sits between Sunny Gronnegyden APS (8 patents, rank #33,477) and Svelte Medical Systems, Inc. (8 patents, rank #33,485) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 20.8/100 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 5 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +67% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Sureflap Ltd.'s 4.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 3 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Sureflap Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Sureflap's 8 grants land it in the top 93% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Sureflap ranks #33,481 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in A01K - see who else leads that technology area. A01K leaders
  • 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.
