United States Of America As Represented By The Administrator Of NASA has been granted 523 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing United States Of America As Represented By The Administrator Of NASA at rank #866 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 230 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in B64G (COSMONAUTICS; VEHICLES OR EQUIPMENT THEREFOR). As a US Federal Government, United States Of America As Represented By The Administrator Of NASA is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, United sits between Xiaomi (526 patents, rank #862) and Micromass UK Limited (519 patents, rank #870) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 60.8/100 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 449 grants, compared with 74 in the 2015–2019 window, a +507% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The US Federal Government 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. United States Of America As Represented By The Administrator Of NASA's 16.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark United States Of America As Represented By The Administrator Of NASA against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

United's 523 grants land it in the top 3% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - United ranks #866 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in B64G - see who else leads that technology area. B64G leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
