Portfolio overview

Dal-tile, Llc has been granted 37 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Dal-tile, Llc at rank #8,575 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 22 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in E04F (FINISHING WORK ON BUILDINGS, e.g. STAIRS, FLOORS). As a US Corporation, Dal-tile, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Dal-tile sits between Doosan FUEL CELL America, Inc. (37 patents, rank #8,571) and Digitaloptics Corporation MEMS (37 patents, rank #8,579) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 49.2/100 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 36 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +3500% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Dal-tile, Llc's 16.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 22 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Dal-tile, Llc 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.
