USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 6 granted patents across 6 technology areas, active 2020–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: E03D (WATER-CLOSETS OR URINALS WITH FLUSHING DEVICES; FLUSHING VALVES THEREFOR).
The verdict
Hound holds 6 US patents across 6 technology areas, rank #40,773 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Hound Tech Llc has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Hound Tech Llc at rank #40,773 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 6 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in E03D (WATER-CLOSETS OR URINALS WITH FLUSHING DEVICES; FLUSHING VALVES THEREFOR). As a US Corporation, Hound Tech Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hound sits between Hope Global Division Of NFA Corp. (6 patents, rank #40,769) and Hughes Systique Private Limited (6 patents, rank #40,777) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 45.5/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 6 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Hound Tech Llc's 16.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 6 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Hound Tech Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Hound's 6 grants land it in the top 23% 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.
