Portfolio overview

Yorktown Technologies, L.p. has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2015 and 2016, placing Yorktown Technologies, L.p. at rank #25,567 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01K (ANIMAL HUSBANDRY; AVICULTURE; APICULTURE; PISCICULTURE; FISHING; REARING OR BREEDING ANIMALS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; NEW BREEDS OF ANIMALS). As a US Corporation, Yorktown Technologies, L.p. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Yorktown sits between Xinthera, Inc. (11 patents, rank #25,563) and Z & J Technologies Gmbh (11 patents, rank #25,571) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 31.4/100 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 0 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% 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. Yorktown Technologies, L.p.'s 21.3 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Yorktown Technologies, L.p. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
