Portfolio overview

HOK Product Design, Llc has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2016 and 2018, placing HOK Product Design, Llc at rank #26,448 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 2.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in E06B (FIXED OR MOVABLE CLOSURES FOR OPENINGS IN BUILDINGS, VEHICLES, FENCES OR LIKE ENCLOSURES IN GENERAL, e.g. DOORS, WINDOWS, BLINDS, GATES). As a US Corporation, HOK Product Design, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, HOK sits between Hitachi Appliances, Inc (10 patents, rank #26,444) and Hotspur Technologies, Inc. (10 patents, rank #26,452) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 16.6/100 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 0 grants, compared with 10 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% 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. HOK Product Design, Llc's 2.1 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 4 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark HOK Product Design, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
