Portfolio overview

THE Invention Science FUND I, Llc has been granted 280 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing THE Invention Science FUND I, Llc at rank #1,486 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 93 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 33.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, THE Invention Science FUND I, Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, THE sits between Government Of The United States Of America, As Represented By The Secretary Of Commerce (280 patents, rank #1,482) and Geotab Inc. (279 patents, rank #1,490) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 60.0/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 16 grants, compared with 264 in the 2015–2019 window, a -94% 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. THE Invention Science FUND I, Llc's 33.6 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 93 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark THE Invention Science FUND I, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
