Portfolio overview

Streamlight, Inc. has been granted 156 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Streamlight, Inc. at rank #2,506 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 31 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in F21L (LIGHTING DEVICES OR SYSTEMS THEREOF, BEING PORTABLE OR SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR TRANSPORTATION). As a US Corporation, Streamlight, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Streamlight sits between Khalifa University Of Science And Technology (156 patents, rank #2,502) and BNSF Railway Company (155 patents, rank #2,510) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 47.7/100 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 93 grants, compared with 63 in the 2015–2019 window, a +48% 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. Streamlight, Inc.'s 11.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 31 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Streamlight, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Streamlight's 156 grants land it in the top 18% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Streamlight ranks #2,506 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in F21L - see who else leads that technology area. F21L leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
