The verdict
Honeywell holds 247 US patents across 136 technology areas, rank #1,665 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, Llc has been granted 247 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, Llc at rank #1,665 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 136 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in B33Y (ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING, i.e. MANUFACTURING OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL [3-D] OBJECTS BY ADDITIVE DEPOSITION, ADDITIVE AGGLOMERATION OR ADDITIVE LAYERING, e.g. BY 3-D PRINTING, STEREOLITHOGRAPHY OR SELECTIVE ). As a US Corporation, Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Honeywell sits between Water Pik, Inc. (248 patents, rank #1,661) and THE TORO Company (247 patents, rank #1,669) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 63.9/100 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 194 grants, compared with 53 in the 2015–2019 window, a +266% 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. Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, Llc's 17.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Honeywell's 247 grants land it in the top 2% 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.
