Portfolio overview

Robertshaw Controls Company has been granted 45 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Robertshaw Controls Company at rank #7,320 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 32 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in F16K (VALVES; TAPS; COCKS; ACTUATING-FLOATS; DEVICES FOR VENTING OR AERATING). As a US Corporation, Robertshaw Controls Company is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Robertshaw sits between Precision Biosciences, Inc. (45 patents, rank #7,316) and Skidata Gmbh (45 patents, rank #7,324) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.0/100 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 31 grants, compared with 14 in the 2015–2019 window, a +121% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Robertshaw Controls Company's 13.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 32 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Robertshaw Controls Company 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.
