Portfolio overview

VBC Tracy Llc has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2022 and 2023, placing VBC Tracy Llc at rank #43,863 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in E04B (GENERAL BUILDING CONSTRUCTIONS; WALLS, e.g. PARTITIONS; ROOFS; FLOORS; CEILINGS; INSULATION OR OTHER PROTECTION OF BUILDINGS). As a US Federal Government, VBC Tracy Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, VBC sits between Valgroup S.a. (6 patents, rank #43,859) and Venice Gravity WORX, Inc. (6 patents, rank #43,867) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.8/100 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. Historical data spans 2022 through 2023, with 6 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. VBC Tracy Llc's 14.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 14 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark VBC Tracy Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
