Portfolio overview

Hoffman Enclosures Inc. has been granted 50 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Hoffman Enclosures Inc. at #6,661 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 37 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in H05K (PRINTED CIRCUITS; CASINGS OR CONSTRUCTIONAL DETAILS OF ELECTRIC APPARATUS; MANUFACTURE OF ASSEMBLAGES OF ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS). As a US Corporation, Hoffman Enclosures Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hoffman sits between Gauthier Biomedical, Inc (50 patents, rank #6,657) and June Life, Llc (50 patents, rank #6,665) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.2/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.

Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 24 grants, compared with 19 in the 2015–2019 window, a +26% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.

Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Hoffman Enclosures Inc.'s 15.7 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 37 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
