Portfolio overview

Vortex Pipe Systems Llc has been granted 26 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Vortex Pipe Systems Llc at rank #11,865 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 23.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in F15D (FLUID DYNAMICS, i.e. METHODS OR MEANS FOR INFLUENCING THE FLOW OF GASES OR LIQUIDS). As a US Corporation, Vortex Pipe Systems Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Vortex sits between VUNO Inc. (26 patents, rank #11,861) and WING HING Manufacturing Company Limited (26 patents, rank #11,869) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 56.4/100 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 25 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +2400% 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. Vortex Pipe Systems Llc's 23.1 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Vortex Pipe Systems Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Vortex's 26 grants land it in the top 6% 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 - Vortex ranks #11,865 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in F15D - see who else leads that technology area. F15D 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.
