Portfolio overview
Timeplay Inc. has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing Timeplay Inc. at rank #25,414 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 26.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in A63F (CARD, BOARD, OR ROULETTE GAMES; INDOOR GAMES USING SMALL MOVING PLAYING BODIES; VIDEO GAMES; GAMES NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Timeplay Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Timeplay sits between Tigenix, S.a.u. (11 patents, rank #25,410) and Touratech Ag (11 patents, rank #25,418) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 40.3/100 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 3 grants, compared with 8 in the 2015–2019 window, a -62% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Timeplay Inc.'s 26.6 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Timeplay Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
