Portfolio overview
The Urban Electric Company has been granted 152 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing The Urban Electric Company at rank #2,568 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 3 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 1.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in B62B (HAND-PROPELLED VEHICLES, e.g. HAND CARTS OR PERAMBULATORS; SLEDGES). As a US Corporation, The Urban Electric Company is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, The sits between Nevro Corp. (152 patents, rank #2,564) and ASIA Optical Co., Inc. (151 patents, rank #2,572) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 30.3/100 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 89 grants, compared with 63 in the 2015–2019 window, a +41% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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 Urban Electric Company's 1.2 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 3 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark The Urban Electric Company against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
