Portfolio overview

JACK Kennedy Metal Products & Buildings, Inc. has been granted 12 US utility patents between 2016 and 2024, placing JACK Kennedy Metal Products & Buildings, Inc. at rank #22,813 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in E21F (SAFETY DEVICES, TRANSPORT, FILLING-UP, RESCUE, VENTILATION, OR DRAINING IN OR OF MINES OR TUNNELS). As a US Corporation, JACK Kennedy Metal Products & Buildings, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, JACK sits between Ironhawk Industrial Distribution Llc (12 patents, rank #22,809) and JDRF Electromag Engineering Inc. (12 patents, rank #22,817) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 34.5/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 3 grants, compared with 9 in the 2015–2019 window, a -67% 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. JACK Kennedy Metal Products & Buildings, Inc.'s 21.7 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 JACK Kennedy Metal Products & Buildings, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

JACK's 12 grants land it in the top 52% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - JACK ranks #22,813 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in E21F - see who else leads that technology area. E21F leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
