Portfolio overview

Brunswick Corporation has been granted 905 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Brunswick Corporation at rank #493 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 126 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in B63H (MARINE PROPULSION OR STEERING). As a US Corporation, Brunswick Corporation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Brunswick sits between Ofinno, Llc (911 patents, rank #489) and BAE Systems Information And Electronic Systems Integration Inc. (900 patents, rank #497) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 66.7/100 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 481 grants, compared with 424 in the 2015–2019 window, a +13% 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. Brunswick Corporation's 15.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, 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 Brunswick Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Brunswick's 905 grants land it in the top 1% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Brunswick ranks #493 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in B63H - see who else leads that technology area. B63H leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
