What this shows Preformed LINE Products Co. stamps GRANTS-SMALL, UPPER-Q, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-USCORP, VEL-SURGE, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #5,972 of 50,000; Innovation Score 59.6/100 sits in the top 4% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is North Atlantic Imports, Llc (±0 grants).
Preformed LINE Products Co. has been granted 57 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Preformed LINE Products Co. at #5,972 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 32 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H02G (INSTALLATION OF ELECTRIC CABLES OR LINES, OR OF COMBINED OPTICAL AND ELECTRIC CABLES OR LINES). As a US Corporation, Preformed LINE Products Co. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Preformed sits between North Atlantic Imports, Llc (57 patents, rank #5,964) and Quantenna Communications, Inc. (57 patents, rank #5,972) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 59.6/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 35 grants, compared with 17 in the 2015–2019 window, a +106% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Preformed LINE Products Co.'s 19.5 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 32 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
