Portfolio overview

Shadecraft, Llc has been granted 20 US utility patents between 2017 and 2021, placing Shadecraft, Llc at rank #14,949 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 40 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in A45B (WALKING STICKS ; UMBRELLAS; LADIES' OR LIKE FANS). As a US Corporation, Shadecraft, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Shadecraft sits between Saris Cycling Group, Inc. (20 patents, rank #14,945) and Signpath Pharma Inc. (20 patents, rank #14,953) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 42.3/100 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 11 grants, compared with 9 in the 2015–2019 window, a +22% 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. Shadecraft, Llc's 15.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 40 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Shadecraft, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
