USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 265 granted patents across 43 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A01C (PLANTING; SOWING; FERTILISING).
The verdict
Precision holds 265 US patents across 43 technology areas, rank #1,566 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Precision Planting Llc has been granted 265 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Precision Planting Llc at rank #1,566 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 43 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01C (PLANTING; SOWING; FERTILISING). As a US Corporation, Precision Planting Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Precision sits between Thule Sweden AB (266 patents, rank #1,562) and Inspur Suzhou Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (264 patents, rank #1,570) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 62.0/100 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 190 grants, compared with 75 in the 2015–2019 window, a +153% 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. Precision Planting Llc's 16.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 43 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Precision Planting Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Precision's 265 grants land it in the top 3% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
