Portfolio overview

HAND HELD Products, Inc. has been granted 946 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing HAND HELD Products, Inc. at rank #468 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 110 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06K (GRAPHICAL DATA READING ; PRESENTATION OF DATA; RECORD CARRIERS; HANDLING RECORD CARRIERS). As a US Corporation, HAND HELD Products, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, HAND sits between KAO Corporation (957 patents, rank #464) and Agency FOR Science, Technology AND Research (939 patents, rank #472) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 64.1/100 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 380 grants, compared with 566 in the 2015–2019 window, a -33% 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. HAND HELD Products, Inc.'s 17.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark HAND HELD Products, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
