Portfolio overview

TEAM Nexbelt Operating, Inc. has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2023 and 2025, placing TEAM Nexbelt Operating, Inc. at rank #37,797 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in A44B (BUTTONS, PINS, BUCKLES, SLIDE FASTENERS, OR THE LIKE). As a US Corporation, TEAM Nexbelt Operating, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, TEAM sits between TC Group A/s (7 patents, rank #37,793) and Technological Educational Institute OF Crete (7 patents, rank #37,801) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 42.0/100 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 2023 through 2025, with 7 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. TEAM Nexbelt Operating, Inc.'s 11.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 5 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark TEAM Nexbelt Operating, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
