The verdict
Kidde holds 10 US patents across 12 technology areas, rank #26,658 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Kidde FIRE Protection, Llc has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2025 and 2025, placing Kidde FIRE Protection, Llc at rank #26,658 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in G08B (SIGNALLING OR CALLING SYSTEMS; ORDER TELEGRAPHS; ALARM SYSTEMS). As a US Corporation, Kidde FIRE Protection, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Kidde sits between Kerlink (10 patents, rank #26,654) and Kingsand Machinery Ltd. (10 patents, rank #26,662) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 27.7/100 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. Historical data spans 2025 through 2025, with 10 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Kidde FIRE Protection, Llc's 11.9 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Kidde FIRE Protection, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Kidde's 10 grants land it in the top 76% 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.
