Portfolio overview

Mid-West Metal Products Company, Inc. has been granted 64 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Mid-West Metal Products Company, Inc. at rank #5,383 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01K (ANIMAL HUSBANDRY; AVICULTURE; APICULTURE; PISCICULTURE; FISHING; REARING OR BREEDING ANIMALS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; NEW BREEDS OF ANIMALS). As a US Corporation, Mid-West Metal Products Company, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 40.0/100 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 33 grants, compared with 31 in the 2015–2019 window — a +6% 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. Mid-West Metal Products Company, Inc.'s 9.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 14 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Mid-West Metal Products Company, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
