## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a holistic view of a single company's patent portfolio — its size, technology footprint, and strategic IP posture. Prefer this over patent search endpoints when the goal is company-level intelligence rather than finding specific patents. Ideal for competitive analysis, M&A due diligence, or R&D benchmarking against a named assignee.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or misspelled assignee name returns empty or low-confidence results
- Very small companies or startups with few patents may return sparse data
- Non-standard company name variants (subsidiaries, holding entities) may not match
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 or 429 error
- Service unavailable returns 503
