The verdict
Hartford holds 342 US patents across 27 technology areas, rank #1,240 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Hartford FIRE Insurance Company has been granted 342 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Hartford FIRE Insurance Company at rank #1,240 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 27 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06Q (INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY [ICT] SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE, COMMERCIAL, FINANCIAL, MANAGERIAL OR SUPERVISORY PURPOSES; SYSTEMS OR METHODS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE,). As a US Corporation, Hartford FIRE Insurance Company is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hartford sits between Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd. (344 patents, rank #1,236) and Parallel Wireless, Inc. (340 patents, rank #1,244) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 55.0/100 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 192 grants, compared with 150 in the 2015–2019 window, a +28% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Hartford FIRE Insurance Company's 18.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 27 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Hartford FIRE Insurance Company against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Hartford's 342 grants land it in the top 7% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
