Portfolio overview

Moen Incorporated has been granted 67 US utility patents between 2015 and 2021, placing Moen Incorporated at rank #5,173 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 23 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in E03C (DOMESTIC PLUMBING INSTALLATIONS FOR FRESH WATER OR WASTE WATER ; SINKS). As a US Corporation, Moen Incorporated is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Moen sits between Lumentum Japan, Inc. (67 patents, rank #5,169) and Optos Plc (67 patents, rank #5,177) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 38.5/100 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 64 in the 2015–2019 window, a -95% 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. Moen Incorporated's 11.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 23 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Moen Incorporated 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.
