Portfolio overview

TDW Delaware, Inc. has been granted 46 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing TDW Delaware, Inc. at #7,201 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 21 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in F16L (PIPES; JOINTS OR FITTINGS FOR PIPES; SUPPORTS FOR PIPES, CABLES OR PROTECTIVE TUBING; MEANS FOR THERMAL INSULATION IN GENERAL). As a US Corporation, TDW Delaware, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, TDW sits between Secureworks Corp. (46 patents, rank #7,196) and Tomey Corporation (46 patents, rank #7,204) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 46.1/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.

Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 27 grants, compared with 14 in the 2015–2019 window, a +93% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.

Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. TDW Delaware, Inc.'s 17.2 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 21 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.

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.
