The verdict
Thorne holds 9 US patents across 11 technology areas, rank #30,333 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Thorne Intellectual Property Holdings Llc has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Thorne Intellectual Property Holdings Llc at rank #30,333 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61J (CONTAINERS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR MEDICAL OR PHARMACEUTICAL PURPOSES; DEVICES OR METHODS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR BRINGING PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS INTO PARTICULAR PHYSICAL OR ADMINISTERING FORMS; DEVICES ). As a US Corporation, Thorne Intellectual Property Holdings Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Thorne sits between Thermax Limited (9 patents, rank #30,329) and Tianjin Tianchuang BEST PURE Environmental Science AND Technology Co., Ltd. (9 patents, rank #30,337) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 30.7/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 7 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +250% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Thorne Intellectual Property Holdings Llc's 10.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Thorne Intellectual Property Holdings Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Thorne's 9 grants land it in the top 65% 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.
