The verdict
Trading holds 472 US patents across 16 technology areas, rank #940 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Trading Technologies International, Inc. has been granted 472 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Trading Technologies International, Inc. at rank #940 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 16 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06Q (INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY [ICT] SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE, COMMERCIAL, FINANCIAL, MANAGERIAL OR SUPERVISORY PURPOSES; SYSTEMS OR METHODS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE,). As a US Corporation, Trading Technologies International, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Trading sits between Stratasys Ltd. (476 patents, rank #936) and Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates, Inc. (469 patents, rank #944) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 50.3/100 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 299 grants, compared with 173 in the 2015–2019 window, a +73% 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. Trading Technologies International, Inc.'s 14.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 16 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Trading Technologies International, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Trading's 472 grants land it in the top 13% 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.
