#1,310
Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 324 granted patents across 6 technology areas, active 2021–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION).
The verdict
UAB holds 324 US patents across 6 technology areas, rank #1,310 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
UAB 360 IT has been granted 324 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing UAB 360 IT at rank #1,310 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 6 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a Foreign Corporation, UAB 360 IT is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, UAB sits between Ablic Inc. (324 patents, rank #1,306) and Trimble Inc. (323 patents, rank #1,314) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 60.4/100 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. Historical data spans 2021 through 2025, with 324 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. UAB 360 IT's 19.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 6 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark UAB 360 IT against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
UAB's 324 grants land it in the top 3% 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.
