Portfolio overview

Costa Del Mar, Inc. has been granted 107 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Costa Del Mar, Inc. at rank #3,448 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 1 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 1.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in G02C (SPECTACLES; SUNGLASSES OR GOGGLES INSOFAR AS THEY HAVE THE SAME FEATURES AS SPECTACLES; CONTACT LENSES). As a US Corporation, Costa Del Mar, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 21.1/100 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 11 grants, compared with 96 in the 2015–2019 window — a -89% 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. Costa Del Mar, Inc.'s 1.5 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 1 subclass reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Costa Del Mar, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
