The verdict
SRAM holds 281 US patents across 59 technology areas, rank #1,476 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
SRAM, Llc has been granted 281 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing SRAM, Llc at rank #1,476 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 59 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in B62M (RIDER PROPULSION OF WHEELED VEHICLES OR SLEDGES; POWERED PROPULSION OF SLEDGES OR ; SINGLE-TRACK; CYCLES; TRANSMISSIONS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR SUCH VEHICLES). As a US Corporation, SRAM, Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, SRAM sits between Chengdu Qinchuan IOT Technology Co., Ltd. (282 patents, rank #1,472) and Board OF Regents OF THE University OF Nebraska (280 patents, rank #1,480) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 62.6/100 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 186 grants, compared with 95 in the 2015–2019 window, a +96% 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. SRAM, Llc's 17.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 59 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark SRAM, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
SRAM's 281 grants land it in the top 2% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
