Portfolio overview

Swellfix UK Limited has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Swellfix UK Limited at rank #25,314 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in E21B (EARTH OR ROCK DRILLING; OBTAINING OIL, GAS, WATER, SOLUBLE OR MELTABLE MATERIALS OR A SLURRY OF MINERALS FROM WELLS). As a Foreign Corporation, Swellfix UK Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Swellfix sits between Sunflow, Inc. (11 patents, rank #25,310) and Symphony Advanced Media (11 patents, rank #25,318) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 42.6/100 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 11 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Swellfix UK Limited's 21.4 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Swellfix UK Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
