The verdict

THE Kyjen Company, Llc has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing THE Kyjen Company, Llc at rank #25,349 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 3 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01K (ANIMAL HUSBANDRY; AVICULTURE; APICULTURE; PISCICULTURE; FISHING; REARING OR BREEDING ANIMALS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; NEW BREEDS OF ANIMALS). As a US Corporation, THE Kyjen Company, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, THE sits between Tetrasun, Inc. (11 patents, rank #25,345) and THE Vitec Group Plc (11 patents, rank #25,353) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 26.4/100 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 1 grants, compared with 10 in the 2015–2019 window, a -90% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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 Kyjen Company, Llc's 8.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 3 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark THE Kyjen Company, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
THE's 11 grants land it in the top 80% 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.
