USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 5 granted patents across 11 technology areas, active 2017–2021. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: E02F (DREDGING; SOIL-SHIFTING).
The verdict
JOY holds 5 US patents across 11 technology areas, rank #47,962 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
JOY Global Longview Operations Llc has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2017 and 2021, placing JOY Global Longview Operations Llc at rank #47,962 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in E02F (DREDGING; SOIL-SHIFTING). As a US Corporation, JOY Global Longview Operations Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, JOY sits between Jossi Holding Ag (5 patents, rank #47,958) and Jr286 Technologies, Inc. (5 patents, rank #47,966) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 28.7/100 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 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. JOY Global Longview Operations Llc's 18.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark JOY Global Longview Operations Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
JOY's 5 grants land it in the top 72% 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.
