The verdict
Energizer holds 170 US patents across 30 technology areas, rank #2,298 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Energizer Brands, Llc has been granted 170 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Energizer Brands, Llc at rank #2,298 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 30 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 7.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01M (PROCESSES OR MEANS, e.g. BATTERIES, FOR THE DIRECT CONVERSION OF CHEMICAL ENERGY INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY). As a US Corporation, Energizer Brands, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Energizer sits between Terra Nova Nurseries, Inc. (171 patents, rank #2,294) and Sumitomo Bakelite Co., Ltd. (170 patents, rank #2,302) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 47.2/100 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 98 grants, compared with 72 in the 2015–2019 window, a +36% 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. Energizer Brands, Llc's 7.9 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 Energizer Brands, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Energizer's 170 grants land it in the top 19% 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.
