Portfolio overview
CASCADES CANADA ULC has been granted 76 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing CASCADES CANADA ULC at rank #4,608 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 24 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in A47K (SANITARY EQUIPMENT NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR ; TOILET ACCESSORIES). As a Foreign Corporation, CASCADES CANADA ULC is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 43.3/100 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 53 grants, compared with 23 in the 2015–2019 window — a +130% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The Foreign 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. CASCADES CANADA ULC's 9.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 24 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark CASCADES CANADA ULC against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
