Portfolio overview

Howe & Howe Inc. has been granted 21 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Howe & Howe Inc. at rank #14,042 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 19 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in B62D (MOTOR VEHICLES; TRAILERS). As a US Corporation, Howe & Howe Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 53.5/100 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 21 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. Howe & Howe Inc.'s 12.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 19 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Howe & Howe Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
