Portfolio overview

Kraus USA Plumbing LLC has been granted 27 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing Kraus USA Plumbing LLC at rank #11,316 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 9 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 5.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in E03C (DOMESTIC PLUMBING INSTALLATIONS FOR FRESH WATER OR WASTE WATER ; SINKS). As a US Corporation, Kraus USA Plumbing LLC is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 32.6/100 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. Historical data spans 2021 through 2025, with 27 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. Kraus USA Plumbing LLC's 5.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 9 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Kraus USA Plumbing LLC against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
