USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 19 granted patents across 9 technology areas, active 2018–2023. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: F16K (VALVES; TAPS; COCKS; ACTUATING-FLOATS; DEVICES FOR VENTING OR AERATING).
The verdict
Emerson holds 19 US patents across 9 technology areas, rank #15,254 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Emerson Vulcan Holding Llc has been granted 19 US utility patents between 2018 and 2023, placing Emerson Vulcan Holding Llc at rank #15,254 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 9 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in F16K (VALVES; TAPS; COCKS; ACTUATING-FLOATS; DEVICES FOR VENTING OR AERATING). As a US Corporation, Emerson Vulcan Holding Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Emerson sits between Edison Welding Institute, Inc. (19 patents, rank #15,250) and Epic Lift Systems (19 patents, rank #15,258) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 32.2/100 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 10 grants, compared with 9 in the 2015–2019 window, a +11% 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. Emerson Vulcan Holding Llc's 17.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 9 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Emerson Vulcan Holding Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Emerson's 19 grants land it in the top 60% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
