Portfolio overview

THINKWARE CORPORATION has been granted 161 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing THINKWARE CORPORATION at rank #2,429 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 32 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01C (MEASURING DISTANCES, LEVELS OR BEARINGS; SURVEYING; NAVIGATION; GYROSCOPIC INSTRUMENTS; PHOTOGRAMMETRY OR VIDEOGRAMMETRY). As a Foreign Corporation, THINKWARE CORPORATION is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 60.2/100 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 120 grants, compared with 41 in the 2015–2019 window — a +193% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The Foreign 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. THINKWARE CORPORATION's 15.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 32 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark THINKWARE CORPORATION against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
