USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 406 granted patents across 78 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H02K (DYNAMO-ELECTRIC MACHINES).
The verdict
Regal holds 406 US patents across 78 technology areas, rank #1,064 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Regal Beloit America, Inc. has been granted 406 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Regal Beloit America, Inc. at rank #1,064 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 78 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in H02K (DYNAMO-ELECTRIC MACHINES). As a US Corporation, Regal Beloit America, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Regal sits between National Cheng KUNG University (407 patents, rank #1,060) and Cavium, Llc. (404 patents, rank #1,068) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 60.5/100 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 185 grants, compared with 221 in the 2015–2019 window, a -16% 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. Regal Beloit America, Inc.'s 17.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 78 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Regal Beloit America, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Regal's 406 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.
