Portfolio overview

Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. has been granted 126 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. at rank #3,017 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 7.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in A47J (KITCHEN EQUIPMENT; COFFEE MILLS; SPICE MILLS; APPARATUS FOR MAKING BEVERAGES). As a US Corporation, Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 36.6/100 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 66 grants, compared with 60 in the 2015–2019 window — a +10% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Keurig Green Mountain, Inc.'s 7.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
