As a US Corporation, The Coleman Company, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, The sits between Oridion Medical 1987 Ltd. (83 patents, rank #4,303) and University OF North Texas (83 patents, rank #4,311) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 53.5/100 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 70 grants, compared with 13 in the 2015–2019 window, a +438% 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. The Coleman Company, Inc.'s 2.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 24 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark The Coleman Company, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
The's 83 grants land it in the top 9% 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.
