Portfolio overview

Alamo Group Inc. has been granted 23 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Alamo Group Inc. at rank #12,808 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 17 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in E01H (STREET CLEANING; CLEANING OF PERMANENT WAYS; CLEANING BEACHES; DISPERSING ; OR PREVENTING; FOG IN GENERAL ; CLEANING STREET OR RAILWAY FURNITURE OR TUNNEL WALLS). As a US Corporation, Alamo Group Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Alamo sits between Agie Charmilles Sa (23 patents, rank #12,804) and Aperia Technologies, Inc. (23 patents, rank #12,812) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 44.3/100 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 13 grants, compared with 10 in the 2015–2019 window, a +30% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Alamo Group Inc.'s 17.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 17 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Alamo Group 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.
