Portfolio overview
HOPKINS MANUFACTURING CORPORATION has been granted 83 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing HOPKINS MANUFACTURING CORPORATION at rank #4,294 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 29 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 6.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60S (SERVICING, CLEANING, REPAIRING, SUPPORTING, LIFTING, OR MANOEUVRING OF VEHICLES, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a US Corporation, HOPKINS MANUFACTURING CORPORATION is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 44.1/100 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 47 grants, compared with 36 in the 2015–2019 window — a +31% 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. HOPKINS MANUFACTURING CORPORATION's 6.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 29 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark HOPKINS MANUFACTURING CORPORATION against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
