Portfolio overview

Firestone Industrial Products Company, Llc has been granted 162 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Firestone Industrial Products Company, Llc at rank #2,410 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 43 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in F16F (SPRINGS; SHOCK-ABSORBERS; MEANS FOR DAMPING VIBRATION). As a US Corporation, Firestone Industrial Products Company, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Firestone sits between Beijing Jingdong Century Trading Co., Ltd. (162 patents, rank #2,406) and SPIN Master Ltd. (162 patents, rank #2,414) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 56.5/100 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 66 grants, compared with 96 in the 2015–2019 window, a -31% 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 Industrial Products Company, Llc's 15.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 43 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Firestone Industrial Products Company, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
