Portfolio overview

Stolle Machinery Company, Llc has been granted 191 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Stolle Machinery Company, Llc at rank #2,075 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 49 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in B21D (WORKING OR PROCESSING OF SHEET METAL OR METAL TUBES, RODS OR PROFILES WITHOUT ESSENTIALLY REMOVING MATERIAL; PUNCHING METAL). As a US Corporation, Stolle Machinery Company, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Stolle sits between Array Biopharma, Inc. (191 patents, rank #2,071) and Elekta Limited (190 patents, rank #2,079) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 55.9/100 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 117 grants, compared with 74 in the 2015–2019 window, a +58% 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. Stolle Machinery Company, Llc's 11.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 49 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Stolle Machinery Company, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
