Portfolio overview

Marlin Steel WIRE Products, Llc has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2017 and 2023, placing Marlin Steel WIRE Products, Llc at rank #41,522 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 3 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in B62B (HAND-PROPELLED VEHICLES, e.g. HAND CARTS OR PERAMBULATORS; SLEDGES). As a US Corporation, Marlin Steel WIRE Products, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Marlin sits between Maradin Technologies Ltd. (6 patents, rank #41,518) and Mashtraxx Limited (6 patents, rank #41,526) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 24.0/100 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 3 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +0% 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. Marlin Steel WIRE Products, Llc's 11.2 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 3 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Marlin Steel WIRE Products, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
