Portfolio overview

Brady Worldwide, Inc. has been granted 88 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Brady Worldwide, Inc. at rank #4,078 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 59 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in E05B (LOCKS; ACCESSORIES THEREFOR; HANDCUFFS). As a US Corporation, Brady Worldwide, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Brady sits between Aerohive Networks, Inc. (88 patents, rank #4,074) and Glycom A/s (88 patents, rank #4,082) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.5/100 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 48 grants, compared with 40 in the 2015–2019 window, a +20% 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. Brady Worldwide, Inc.'s 13.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 59 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Brady Worldwide, 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.
