The verdict
Heatcraft holds 149 US patents across 33 technology areas, rank #2,607 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Heatcraft Refrigeration Products Llc has been granted 149 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Heatcraft Refrigeration Products Llc at rank #2,607 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 33 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in F25B (REFRIGERATION MACHINES, PLANTS OR SYSTEMS; COMBINED HEATING AND REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS; HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS). As a US Corporation, Heatcraft Refrigeration Products Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Heatcraft sits between Atlas Copco Industrial Technique AB (149 patents, rank #2,603) and Movandi Corporation (149 patents, rank #2,611) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 53.6/100 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 103 grants, compared with 46 in the 2015–2019 window, a +124% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Heatcraft Refrigeration Products Llc's 16.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 33 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Heatcraft Refrigeration Products Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Heatcraft's 149 grants land it in the top 9% 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.
