Portfolio overview

Carlson Pet Products, Inc. has been granted 58 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Carlson Pet Products, Inc. at rank #5,827 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in E06B (FIXED OR MOVABLE CLOSURES FOR OPENINGS IN BUILDINGS, VEHICLES, FENCES OR LIKE ENCLOSURES IN GENERAL, e.g. DOORS, WINDOWS, BLINDS, GATES). As a US Corporation, Carlson Pet Products, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Carlson sits between BERG Companies, Inc. (58 patents, rank #5,823) and Dfine, Inc. (58 patents, rank #5,831) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 39.2/100 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 28 grants, compared with 30 in the 2015–2019 window, a -7% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Carlson Pet Products, Inc.'s 9.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Carlson Pet Products, 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.
