Portfolio overview

Velico Medical Inc. has been granted 26 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Velico Medical Inc. at rank #11,863 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a US Corporation, Velico Medical Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Velico sits between VCE Company, Llc (26 patents, rank #11,859) and WEST China Hospital, Sichuan University (26 patents, rank #11,867) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 56.9/100 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 20 grants, compared with 6 in the 2015–2019 window, a +233% 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. Velico Medical Inc.'s 20.5 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 14 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Velico Medical Inc. 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.
