The verdict
Taylor holds 635 US patents across 27 technology areas, rank #718 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Taylor Made Golf Company, Inc. has been granted 635 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Taylor Made Golf Company, Inc. at rank #718 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 27 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A63B (APPARATUS FOR PHYSICAL TRAINING, GYMNASTICS, SWIMMING, CLIMBING, OR FENCING; BALL GAMES; TRAINING EQUIPMENT). As a US Corporation, Taylor Made Golf Company, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Taylor sits between Industry-university Cooperation Foundation Hanyang University (637 patents, rank #714) and Covestro Deutschland Ag (631 patents, rank #722) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.2/100 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 351 grants, compared with 284 in the 2015–2019 window, a +24% 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. Taylor Made Golf Company, Inc.'s 18.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 27 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Taylor Made Golf Company, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Taylor's 635 grants land it in the top 5% 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.
