Portfolio overview

FINDLAY MACHINE & TOOL, LLC has been granted 40 US utility patents between 2024 and 2025, placing FINDLAY MACHINE & TOOL, LLC at rank #8,024 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 6 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 3.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A47C (CHAIRS; SOFAS; BEDS). As a US Corporation, FINDLAY MACHINE & TOOL, LLC is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 43.8/100 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. Historical data spans 2024 through 2025, with 40 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. FINDLAY MACHINE & TOOL, LLC's 3.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 6 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark FINDLAY MACHINE & TOOL, LLC against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
