Portfolio overview

Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems Llc has been granted 338 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems Llc at rank #1,251 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 92 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60T (VEHICLE BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEMS OR PARTS THEREOF; BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEMS OR PARTS THEREOF, IN GENERAL ; ARRANGEMENT OF BRAKING ELEMENTS ON VEHICLES IN GENERAL; PORTABLE DEVICES FOR PREVENTING UNWANTED MO). As a US Corporation, Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Bendix sits between HP Indigo B.v. (339 patents, rank #1,247) and Universal Entertainment Corporation (338 patents, rank #1,255) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 61.3/100 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 199 grants, compared with 139 in the 2015–2019 window, a +43% 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. Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems Llc's 18.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 92 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
