USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 7 granted patents across 4 technology areas, active 2016–2024. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: Y10T (TECHNICAL SUBJECTS COVERED BY FORMER US CLASSIFICATION).
The verdict
Torq/lite holds 7 US patents across 4 technology areas, rank #37,868 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Torq/lite, Llc has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2016 and 2024, placing Torq/lite, Llc at rank #37,868 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y10T (TECHNICAL SUBJECTS COVERED BY FORMER US CLASSIFICATION). As a US Corporation, Torq/lite, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Torq/lite sits between TOHO Kasei Co., Ltd. (7 patents, rank #37,864) and Tounetsu Co., Ltd. (7 patents, rank #37,872) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 33.4/100 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 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a -25% 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. Torq/lite, Llc's 20.7 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while specialization in 4 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Torq/lite, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Torq/lite's 7 grants land it in the top 56% 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.
