Portfolio overview
Edgewell Personal Care Brands, LLC has been granted 174 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Edgewell Personal Care Brands, LLC at rank #2,250 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 30 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61F (FILTERS IMPLANTABLE INTO BLOOD VESSELS; PROSTHESES; DEVICES PROVIDING PATENCY TO, OR PREVENTING COLLAPSING OF, TUBULAR STRUCTURES OF THE BODY, e.g. STENTS; ORTHOPAEDIC, NURSING OR CONTRACEPTIVE DEVICE). As a US Corporation, Edgewell Personal Care Brands, LLC is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 47.0/100 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 84 grants, compared with 90 in the 2015–2019 window — a -7% 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. Edgewell Personal Care Brands, LLC's 9.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 30 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Edgewell Personal Care Brands, LLC against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
