Portfolio overview
Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC has been granted 485 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC at rank #918 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 69 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60C (VEHICLE TYRES; TYRE INFLATION; TYRE CHANGING; CONNECTING VALVES TO INFLATABLE ELASTIC BODIES IN GENERAL; DEVICES OR ARRANGEMENTS RELATED TO TYRES). As a US Corporation, Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 58.3/100 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 298 grants, compared with 187 in the 2015–2019 window — a +59% 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. Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC's 11.2 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 69 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
