Portfolio overview

Clopay Plastic Products Company, Inc. has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2016 and 2021, placing Clopay Plastic Products Company, Inc. at rank #34,844 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in B32B (LAYERED PRODUCTS, i.e. PRODUCTS BUILT-UP OF STRATA OF FLAT OR NON-FLAT, e.g. CELLULAR OR HONEYCOMB, FORM). As a US Corporation, Clopay Plastic Products Company, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Clopay sits between Clearwater Seafoods Limited Partnership (7 patents, rank #34,840) and Club Pro Manufacturing USA, Inc. (7 patents, rank #34,848) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 31.5/100 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 2 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a -60% 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. Clopay Plastic Products Company, Inc.'s 17.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 15 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Clopay Plastic Products Company, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
