Portfolio overview

Griffin Technology, Llc has been granted 81 US utility patents between 2015 and 2021, placing Griffin Technology, Llc at rank #4,381 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 4.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in A45C (PURSES; LUGGAGE; HAND CARRIED BAGS). As a US Corporation, Griffin Technology, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Griffin sits between ECO Holding 1 Gmbh (81 patents, rank #4,377) and Musashi Engineering, Inc. (81 patents, rank #4,385) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 30.2/100 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 5 grants, compared with 76 in the 2015–2019 window, a -93% 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. Griffin Technology, Llc's 4.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Griffin Technology, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
