Portfolio overview
The Neck Hammock, Inc. has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2018 and 2024, placing The Neck Hammock, Inc. at rank #27,648 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 3 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61H (PHYSICAL THERAPY APPARATUS, e.g. DEVICES FOR LOCATING OR STIMULATING REFLEX POINTS IN THE BODY; ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION; MASSAGE; BATHING DEVICES FOR SPECIAL THERAPEUTIC OR HYGIENIC PURPOSES OR SPECIFI). As a US Corporation, The Neck Hammock, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, The sits between The H.d. Lee Company, Inc. (10 patents, rank #27,644) and The Sottopelle Group, Llc (10 patents, rank #27,652) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 21.2/100 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 4 grants, compared with 6 in the 2015–2019 window, a -33% 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 Neck Hammock, Inc.'s 8.2 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 Neck Hammock, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
