THE Sweet Living Group, Llc has been granted 14 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing THE Sweet Living Group, Llc at rank #20,502 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in D06M (TREATMENT, NOT PROVIDED FOR ELSEWHERE IN CLASS D06, OF FIBRES, THREADS, YARNS, FABRICS, FEATHERS OR FIBROUS GOODS MADE FROM SUCH MATERIALS). As a US Corporation, THE Sweet Living Group, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, THE sits between TEXA S.p.a. (14 patents, rank #20,498) and Tigers Polymer Corporation (14 patents, rank #20,506) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 28.9/100 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 8 in the 2015–2019 window, a -25% 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 Sweet Living Group, Llc's 12.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark THE Sweet Living Group, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
THE's 14 grants land it in the top 71% 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.
