Portfolio overview

Firestone Building Products Company, Llc has been granted 86 US utility patents between 2015 and 2022, placing Firestone Building Products Company, Llc at rank #4,155 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 34 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in E04D (ROOF COVERINGS; SKY-LIGHTS; GUTTERS; ROOF-WORKING TOOLS). As a US Corporation, Firestone Building Products Company, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Firestone sits between Dali Systems Co. Ltd (86 patents, rank #4,151) and Kyocera SLD Laser, Inc. (86 patents, rank #4,159) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 44.6/100 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 26 grants, compared with 60 in the 2015–2019 window, a -57% 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. Firestone Building Products Company, Llc's 13.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 34 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Firestone Building Products Company, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
