Portfolio overview
Fox Factory, Inc. has been granted 405 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Fox Factory, Inc. at rank #1,066 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 54 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in F16F (SPRINGS; SHOCK-ABSORBERS; MEANS FOR DAMPING VIBRATION). As a US Corporation, Fox Factory, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 64.0/100 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 274 grants, compared with 131 in the 2015–2019 window — a +109% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Fox Factory, Inc.'s 12.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 54 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Fox Factory, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
