USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 9 granted patents across 2 technology areas, active 2016–2024. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A47B (TABLES; DESKS; OFFICE FURNITURE; CABINETS; DRAWERS; GENERAL DETAILS OF FURNITURE).
The verdict
Tenn-tex holds 9 US patents across 2 technology areas, rank #30,308 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Tenn-tex Plastics, Inc. has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2016 and 2024, placing Tenn-tex Plastics, Inc. at rank #30,308 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 2 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in A47B (TABLES; DESKS; OFFICE FURNITURE; CABINETS; DRAWERS; GENERAL DETAILS OF FURNITURE). As a US Corporation, Tenn-tex Plastics, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Tenn-tex sits between Teijin Aramid Gmbh (9 patents, rank #30,304) and Terre Armee Internationale (9 patents, rank #30,312) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 40.0/100 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 6 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +100% 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. Tenn-tex Plastics, Inc.'s 11.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 2 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Tenn-tex Plastics, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Tenn-tex's 9 grants land it in the top 37% 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.
