Portfolio overview

Rite-hite Holding Corporation has been granted 172 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Rite-hite Holding Corporation at rank #2,280 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 52 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in B65G (TRANSPORT OR STORAGE DEVICES, e.g. CONVEYORS FOR LOADING OR TIPPING, SHOP CONVEYOR SYSTEMS OR PNEUMATIC TUBE CONVEYORS). As a US Corporation, Rite-hite Holding Corporation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Rite-hite sits between Cryptography Research, Inc. (172 patents, rank #2,276) and A10 Networks, Incorporated (171 patents, rank #2,284) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 61.5/100 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 66 grants, compared with 106 in the 2015–2019 window, a -38% 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. Rite-hite Holding Corporation's 20.0 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 52 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Rite-hite Holding Corporation 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.
