Portfolio overview

Indian Motorcycle International, Llc has been granted 68 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Indian Motorcycle International, Llc at rank #5,080 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 36 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in B62J (CYCLE SADDLES OR SEATS; AUXILIARY DEVICES OR ACCESSORIES SPECIALLY ADAPTED TO CYCLES AND NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR, e.g. ARTICLE CARRIERS OR CYCLE PROTECTORS). As a US Corporation, Indian Motorcycle International, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Indian sits between Hill's Pet Nutrition, Inc. (68 patents, rank #5,076) and Intellisist, Inc. (68 patents, rank #5,084) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 54.0/100 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 52 grants, compared with 16 in the 2015–2019 window, a +225% 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. Indian Motorcycle International, Llc's 15.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 36 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Indian Motorcycle International, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
