Portfolio overview

Glen Dimplex Americas Limited has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2018 and 2024, placing Glen Dimplex Americas Limited at rank #47,188 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in F21S (NON-PORTABLE LIGHTING DEVICES; SYSTEMS THEREOF; VEHICLE LIGHTING DEVICES SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR VEHICLE EXTERIORS). As a Foreign Corporation, Glen Dimplex Americas Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Glen sits between Glass Dynamics, Inc. (5 patents, rank #47,184) and Global Battery Solutions Llc (5 patents, rank #47,192) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 26.1/100 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 1 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a -75% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. The Foreign 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. Glen Dimplex Americas Limited's 12.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Glen Dimplex Americas Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Glen's 5 grants land it in the top 81% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Glen ranks #47,188 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in F21S - see who else leads that technology area. F21S leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
