Portfolio overview

Solon Manufacturing Company has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Solon Manufacturing Company at rank #42,945 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 7 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES). As a US Corporation, Solon Manufacturing Company is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Solon sits between Solarwat Ltd. (6 patents, rank #42,941) and Sonarmed Inc. (6 patents, rank #42,949) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 22.8/100 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 1 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a -80% 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. Solon Manufacturing Company's 11.2 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 7 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Solon Manufacturing 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.
