Portfolio overview
Millerknoll, Inc. has been granted 111 US utility patents between 2022 and 2025, placing Millerknoll, Inc. at rank #3,353 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 34 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 6.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in A47C (CHAIRS; SOFAS; BEDS). As a US Corporation, Millerknoll, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Millerknoll sits between Janssen Sciences Ireland UC (111 patents, rank #3,349) and S.v.v. Technology Innovations, Inc. (111 patents, rank #3,357) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 60.8/100 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. Historical data spans 2022 through 2025, with 111 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Millerknoll, Inc.'s 6.5 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 34 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Millerknoll, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
