Portfolio overview

Potters Industries, Llc has been granted 8 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing Potters Industries, Llc at rank #32,921 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in C09D (COATING COMPOSITIONS, e.g. PAINTS, VARNISHES OR LACQUERS; FILLING PASTES; CHEMICAL PAINT OR INK REMOVERS; INKS; CORRECTING FLUIDS; WOODSTAINS; PASTES OR SOLIDS FOR COLOURING OR PRINTING; USE OF MATERI). As a US Corporation, Potters Industries, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Potters sits between Poppack Llc (8 patents, rank #32,917) and Prana Biotechnology Limited (8 patents, rank #32,925) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 28.2/100 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 1 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a -86% 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. Potters Industries, Llc's 12.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Potters Industries, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
