Portfolio overview

Raven Industries, Inc. has been granted 95 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Raven Industries, Inc. at rank #3,824 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 59 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 24.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01B (SOIL WORKING IN AGRICULTURE OR FORESTRY; PARTS, DETAILS, OR ACCESSORIES OF AGRICULTURAL MACHINES OR IMPLEMENTS, IN GENERAL). As a US Corporation, Raven Industries, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Raven sits between Paramount BED Co., Ltd. (95 patents, rank #3,820) and Sanmina Corporation (95 patents, rank #3,828) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 63.4/100 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 50 grants, compared with 45 in the 2015–2019 window, a +11% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Raven Industries, Inc.'s 24.2 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 59 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Raven Industries, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
