Portfolio overview

DANA Heavy Vehicle Systems Group, Llc has been granted 240 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing DANA Heavy Vehicle Systems Group, Llc at rank #1,707 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 47 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in F16H (GEARING). As a US Corporation, DANA Heavy Vehicle Systems Group, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, DANA sits between Roland Corporation (241 patents, rank #1,703) and Theravance Biopharma R&D IP, Llc (239 patents, rank #1,711) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 63.2/100 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 186 grants, compared with 54 in the 2015–2019 window, a +244% 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. DANA Heavy Vehicle Systems Group, Llc's 16.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 47 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark DANA Heavy Vehicle Systems Group, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
