Portfolio overview
HAYES BICYCLE GROUP INC has been granted 17 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing HAYES BICYCLE GROUP INC at rank #16,851 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 23.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in B62K (CYCLES; CYCLE FRAMES; CYCLE STEERING DEVICES; RIDER-OPERATED TERMINAL CONTROLS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR CYCLES; CYCLE AXLE SUSPENSIONS; CYCLE SIDE-CARS, FORECARS, OR THE LIKE). As a US Corporation, HAYES BICYCLE GROUP INC is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 43.9/100 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 10 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window — a +43% 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. HAYES BICYCLE GROUP INC's 23.1 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark HAYES BICYCLE GROUP INC against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
