Portfolio overview

Deckers Outdoor Corporation has been granted 157 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Deckers Outdoor Corporation at rank #2,483 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 9 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 3.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in A43B (CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF FOOTWEAR; PARTS OF FOOTWEAR). As a US Corporation, Deckers Outdoor Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Deckers sits between Yungu (gu'an) Technology Co., Ltd. (158 patents, rank #2,479) and LELY Patent N.v. (157 patents, rank #2,487) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 50.5/100 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 107 grants, compared with 50 in the 2015–2019 window, a +114% 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. Deckers Outdoor Corporation's 3.9 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 9 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Deckers Outdoor Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
