Portfolio overview

TACTILE SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY, INC. has been granted 29 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing TACTILE SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY, INC. at rank #10,777 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61H (PHYSICAL THERAPY APPARATUS, e.g. DEVICES FOR LOCATING OR STIMULATING REFLEX POINTS IN THE BODY; ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION; MASSAGE; BATHING DEVICES FOR SPECIAL THERAPEUTIC OR HYGIENIC PURPOSES OR SPECIFI). As a US Corporation, TACTILE SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY, INC. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 29.6/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 19 grants, compared with 10 in the 2015–2019 window, a +90% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. TACTILE SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY, INC.'s 11.1 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 4 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark TACTILE SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY, INC. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
