The verdict
Lutron holds 1,229 US patents across 88 technology areas, rank #352 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Lutron Technology Company Llc has been granted 1,229 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Lutron Technology Company Llc at rank #352 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 88 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.0 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 Technology Company Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Lutron sits between Philip Morris Products S.a. (1,240 patents, rank #348) and Rolls-royce Corporation (1,213 patents, rank #356) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 70.4/100 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 1,137 grants, compared with 92 in the 2015–2019 window, a +1136% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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 Technology Company Llc's 17.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 88 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Lutron Technology Company Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Lutron's 1,229 grants land it in the top 0.1% 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.
