The verdict
Avery holds 449 US patents across 100 technology areas, rank #977 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Avery Dennison Retail Information Services Llc has been granted 449 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Avery Dennison Retail Information Services Llc at rank #977 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 100 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06K (GRAPHICAL DATA READING ; PRESENTATION OF DATA; RECORD CARRIERS; HANDLING RECORD CARRIERS). As a US Corporation, Avery Dennison Retail Information Services Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Avery sits between Delphi Technologies (451 patents, rank #973) and Richtek Technology Corporation (448 patents, rank #981) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 58.6/100 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 299 grants, compared with 150 in the 2015–2019 window, a +99% 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. Avery Dennison Retail Information Services Llc's 9.5 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Avery Dennison Retail Information Services Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Avery's 449 grants land it in the top 4% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
