The H.d. Lee Company, Inc. has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2019 and 2023, placing The H.d. Lee Company, Inc. at rank #27,644 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A41D (OUTERWEAR; PROTECTIVE GARMENTS; ACCESSORIES). As a US Corporation, The H.d. Lee Company, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, The sits between The Cycle Group (10 patents, rank #27,640) and The Neck Hammock, Inc. (10 patents, rank #27,648) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 32.8/100 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 7 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +133% 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 H.d. Lee Company, Inc.'s 10.2 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark The H.d. Lee Company, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
