Portfolio overview

Owen Oil Tools Lp has been granted 25 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Owen Oil Tools Lp at rank #12,156 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in E21B (EARTH OR ROCK DRILLING; OBTAINING OIL, GAS, WATER, SOLUBLE OR MELTABLE MATERIALS OR A SLURRY OF MINERALS FROM WELLS). As a US Corporation, Owen Oil Tools Lp is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Owen sits between Optodot Corporation (25 patents, rank #12,152) and Peerless Industries, Inc. (25 patents, rank #12,160) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 29.9/100 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 19 in the 2015–2019 window, a -68% 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. Owen Oil Tools Lp's 11.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Owen Oil Tools Lp against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Owen's 25 grants land it in the top 68% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Owen ranks #12,156 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in E21B - see who else leads that technology area. E21B leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
