Portfolio overview

United Tactical Systems, Llc has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2016 and 2020, placing United Tactical Systems, Llc at rank #27,722 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in F41B (WEAPONS FOR PROJECTING MISSILES WITHOUT USE OF EXPLOSIVE OR COMBUSTIBLE PROPELLANT CHARGE; WEAPONS NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a US Corporation, United Tactical Systems, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, United sits between Umfotec Gmbh (10 patents, rank #27,718) and University Of Tasmania (10 patents, rank #27,726) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 29.5/100 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 2 grants, compared with 8 in the 2015–2019 window, a -75% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. United Tactical Systems, Llc's 15.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark United Tactical Systems, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
