Portfolio overview
Colt Irrigation, Llc has been granted 8 US utility patents between 2016 and 2024, placing Colt Irrigation, Llc at rank #31,307 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 22.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in F16K (VALVES; TAPS; COCKS; ACTUATING-FLOATS; DEVICES FOR VENTING OR AERATING). As a US Corporation, Colt Irrigation, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Colt sits between Cognoa, Inc. (8 patents, rank #31,303) and Compagnie Industrielle De La Matiere Vegetale—cimv (8 patents, rank #31,311) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 49.0/100 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 4 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a +0% 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. Colt Irrigation, Llc's 22.5 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 5 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Colt Irrigation, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
