Portfolio overview

Nylok Llc has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2017 and 2023, placing Nylok Llc at rank #29,625 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 9 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 22.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in F16B (DEVICES FOR FASTENING OR SECURING CONSTRUCTIONAL ELEMENTS OR MACHINE PARTS TOGETHER, e.g. NAILS, BOLTS, CIRCLIPS, CLAMPS, CLIPS OR WEDGES; JOINTS OR JOINTING). As a US Corporation, Nylok Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Nylok sits between Northeast Electric Power University (9 patents, rank #29,621) and Obayashi Corporation (9 patents, rank #29,629) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.1/100 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 6 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +100% 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. Nylok Llc's 22.8 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 9 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Nylok Llc 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.
