Portfolio overview

Cequent Consumer Products, Inc. has been granted 23 US utility patents between 2015 and 2017, placing Cequent Consumer Products, Inc. at rank #12,872 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 7 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 6.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in F16G (BELTS, CABLES, OR ROPES, PREDOMINANTLY USED FOR DRIVING PURPOSES; CHAINS; FITTINGS PREDOMINANTLY USED THEREFOR). As a US Corporation, Cequent Consumer Products, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 24.3/100 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 0 grants, compared with 23 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% 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. Cequent Consumer Products, Inc.'s 6.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 7 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Cequent Consumer Products, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
