Portfolio overview

Lutron Electronics Co., Inc. has been granted 389 US utility patents between 2015 and 2021, placing Lutron Electronics Co., Inc. at rank #1,097 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 62 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in H05B (ELECTRIC HEATING; ELECTRIC LIGHT SOURCES NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENTS FOR ELECTRIC LIGHT SOURCES, IN GENERAL). As a US Corporation, Lutron Electronics Co., Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Lutron sits between Allison Transmission, Inc. (390 patents, rank #1,093) and Valeo Systemes Thermiques (388 patents, rank #1,101) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 56.6/100 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 1 grants, compared with 388 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Lutron Electronics Co., Inc.'s 18.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 62 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Lutron Electronics Co., Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
