Portfolio overview

KENNEDY VALVE COMPANY has been granted 47 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing KENNEDY VALVE COMPANY at rank #7,027 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 19 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in F16K (VALVES; TAPS; COCKS; ACTUATING-FLOATS; DEVICES FOR VENTING OR AERATING). As a US Corporation, KENNEDY VALVE COMPANY is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 43.0/100 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 35 grants, compared with 12 in the 2015–2019 window — a +192% 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. KENNEDY VALVE COMPANY's 16.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 19 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark KENNEDY VALVE COMPANY against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
