Portfolio overview

SAFWAY SERVICES, LLC has been granted 8 US utility patents between 2015 and 2018, placing SAFWAY SERVICES, LLC at rank #33,124 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 6 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 31.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in E04G (SCAFFOLDING; FORMS; SHUTTERING; BUILDING IMPLEMENTS OR AIDS, OR THEIR USE; HANDLING BUILDING MATERIALS ON THE SITE; REPAIRING, BREAKING-UP OR OTHER WORK ON EXISTING BUILDINGS). As a US Corporation, SAFWAY SERVICES, LLC is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 31.3/100 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 0 grants, compared with 8 in the 2015–2019 window — a -100% 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. SAFWAY SERVICES, LLC's 31.6 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 6 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark SAFWAY SERVICES, LLC against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
