Portfolio overview

Affinity Tool Works, Llc has been granted 22 US utility patents between 2017 and 2024, placing Affinity Tool Works, Llc at rank #13,296 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in B25H (WORKSHOP EQUIPMENT, e.g. FOR MARKING-OUT WORK; STORAGE MEANS FOR WORKSHOPS). As a US Corporation, Affinity Tool Works, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Affinity sits between Absolute Software Corporation (22 patents, rank #13,292) and Alcatel-lucent Shanghai Bell Co., Ltd. (22 patents, rank #13,300) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 30.6/100 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 9 grants, compared with 13 in the 2015–2019 window, a -31% 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. Affinity Tool Works, Llc's 11.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Affinity Tool Works, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
