Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record — 12 granted patents across 4 technology areas, active 2017–2024. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: F25C (PRODUCING, WORKING OR HANDLING ICE).
REDDY ICE LLC has been granted 12 US utility patents between 2017 and 2024, placing REDDY ICE LLC at rank #23,262 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in F25C (PRODUCING, WORKING OR HANDLING ICE). As a US Corporation, REDDY ICE LLC is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 43.0/100 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 7 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window — a +40% 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. REDDY ICE LLC's 11.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 4 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark REDDY ICE LLC against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
