Portfolio overview

Cooper Technologies Company has been granted 637 US utility patents between 2015 and 2021, placing Cooper Technologies Company at rank #713 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 119 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in F21V (FUNCTIONAL FEATURES OR DETAILS OF LIGHTING DEVICES OR SYSTEMS THEREOF; STRUCTURAL COMBINATIONS OF LIGHTING DEVICES WITH OTHER ARTICLES, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a US Corporation, Cooper Technologies Company is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Cooper sits between S. C. Johnson & SON, Inc. (640 patents, rank #709) and Oath Inc. (635 patents, rank #717) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.3/100 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 4 grants, compared with 633 in the 2015–2019 window, a -99% 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. Cooper Technologies Company's 16.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Cooper Technologies Company 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.
