The verdict
UATC holds 473 US patents across 78 technology areas, rank #939 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
UATC, Llc has been granted 473 US utility patents between 2019 and 2024, placing UATC, Llc at rank #939 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 78 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G05D (SYSTEMS FOR CONTROLLING OR REGULATING NON-ELECTRIC VARIABLES). As a US Corporation, UATC, Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, UATC sits between Nant Holdings IP, Llc (476 patents, rank #935) and Nordson Corporation (469 patents, rank #943) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 68.8/100 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 458 grants, compared with 15 in the 2015–2019 window, a +2953% 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. UATC, Llc's 19.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 78 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark UATC, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
UATC's 473 grants land it in the top 1% 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.
