Portfolio overview

Delta Faucet Company has been granted 1,351 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Delta Faucet Company at rank #316 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 70 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 4.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in E03C (DOMESTIC PLUMBING INSTALLATIONS FOR FRESH WATER OR WASTE WATER ; SINKS). As a US Corporation, Delta Faucet Company is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Delta sits between Textron Innovations Inc. (1,370 patents, rank #312) and Sanofi-aventis Deutschland Gmbh (1,348 patents, rank #320) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 58.7/100 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 789 grants, compared with 562 in the 2015–2019 window, a +40% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Delta Faucet Company's 4.2 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 70 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Delta Faucet 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.
