The verdict
Tela holds 59 US patents across 8 technology areas, rank #5,800 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Tela Innovations, Inc. has been granted 59 US utility patents between 2015 and 2020, placing Tela Innovations, Inc. at rank #5,800 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 26.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, Tela Innovations, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Tela sits between Silc Technologies, Inc. (59 patents, rank #5,796) and Vodafone Gmbh (59 patents, rank #5,804) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 39.1/100 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 4 grants, compared with 55 in the 2015–2019 window, a -93% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Tela Innovations, Inc.'s 26.7 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Tela Innovations, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Tela's 59 grants land it in the top 39% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
