Portfolio overview

Southwire Company, Llc has been granted 241 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Southwire Company, Llc at rank #1,705 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 90 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in H02G (INSTALLATION OF ELECTRIC CABLES OR LINES, OR OF COMBINED OPTICAL AND ELECTRIC CABLES OR LINES). As a US Corporation, Southwire Company, Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Southwire sits between Dometic Sweden AB (241 patents, rank #1,701) and Medtronic Xomed, Inc. (239 patents, rank #1,709) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 59.6/100 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 130 grants, compared with 111 in the 2015–2019 window, a +17% 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. Southwire Company, Llc's 15.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 90 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Southwire Company, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
