Portfolio overview

Lifetime Brands, Inc. has been granted 119 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Lifetime Brands, Inc. at rank #3,158 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 20 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 4.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in A47J (KITCHEN EQUIPMENT; COFFEE MILLS; SPICE MILLS; APPARATUS FOR MAKING BEVERAGES). As a US Corporation, Lifetime Brands, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 38.7/100 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 60 grants, compared with 59 in the 2015–2019 window — a +2% 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. Lifetime Brands, Inc.'s 4.5 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 20 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Lifetime Brands, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
