USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 7 granted patents across 3 technology areas, active 2016–2016. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A41D (OUTERWEAR; PROTECTIVE GARMENTS; ACCESSORIES).
The verdict
Ironclad holds 7 US patents across 3 technology areas, rank #35,978 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Ironclad Performance Wear Corp. has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2016 and 2016, placing Ironclad Performance Wear Corp. at rank #35,978 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 3 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 5.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in A41D (OUTERWEAR; PROTECTIVE GARMENTS; ACCESSORIES). As a US Corporation, Ironclad Performance Wear Corp. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Ironclad sits between Iotamotion, Inc. (7 patents, rank #35,974) and J. VAN Beugen Beheer B.v. (7 patents, rank #35,982) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 16.7/100 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 0 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% 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. Ironclad Performance Wear Corp.'s 5.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 3 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Ironclad Performance Wear Corp. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Ironclad's 7 grants land it in the top 96% 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.
