Portfolio overview
Iron Horse Industries, Llc has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2015 and 2021, placing Iron Horse Industries, Llc at rank #47,883 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in B25B (TOOLS OR BENCH DEVICES NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR, FOR FASTENING, CONNECTING, DISENGAGING OR HOLDING). As a US Corporation, Iron Horse Industries, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Iron sits between Ionwerks, Inc. (5 patents, rank #47,879) and J & L Innovations Llc (5 patents, rank #47,887) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 29.0/100 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 1 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a -75% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Iron Horse Industries, Llc's 21.4 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Iron Horse Industries, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
