Portfolio overview

Teledyne FLIR Defense, Inc. has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2024 and 2025, placing Teledyne FLIR Defense, Inc. at rank #27,625 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 18 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06V (IMAGE OR VIDEO RECOGNITION OR UNDERSTANDING). As a US Corporation, Teledyne FLIR Defense, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Teledyne sits between Techhold, Llc (10 patents, rank #27,621) and Tenon Medical, Inc. (10 patents, rank #27,629) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 53.7/100 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 2024 through 2025, with 10 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. Teledyne FLIR Defense, Inc.'s 17.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 18 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Teledyne FLIR Defense, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
