Portfolio overview

Pentair Water Pool And Spa, Inc. has been granted 139 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Pentair Water Pool And Spa, Inc. at rank #2,778 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 55 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in E04H (BUILDINGS OR LIKE STRUCTURES FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSES; SWIMMING OR SPLASH BATHS OR POOLS; MASTS; FENCING; TENTS OR CANOPIES, IN GENERAL). As a US Corporation, Pentair Water Pool And Spa, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Pentair sits between Kautex Textron Gmbh & Co. KG (139 patents, rank #2,774) and Cal-comp Electronics & Communications Company Limited (138 patents, rank #2,782) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 53.9/100 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 47 grants, compared with 92 in the 2015–2019 window, a -49% 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. Pentair Water Pool And Spa, Inc.'s 16.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 55 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Pentair Water Pool And Spa, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
