USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 91 granted patents across 8 technology areas, active 2017–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION).
The verdict
Treace holds 91 US patents across 8 technology areas, rank #3,991 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. has been granted 91 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. at rank #3,991 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). As a US Corporation, Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Treace sits between Tango Networks, Inc. (91 patents, rank #3,987) and Arizona Board OF Regents, A BODY Corporate OF THE State OF Arizona Acting FOR AND ON Behalf OF Arizona State University (90 patents, rank #3,995) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.5/100 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 81 grants, compared with 10 in the 2015–2019 window, a +710% 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. Treace Medical Concepts, Inc.'s 21.4 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 Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Treace's 91 grants land it in the top 16% 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.
