The verdict
The holds 24 US patents across 12 technology areas, rank #12,717 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
The Wooster Brush Company has been granted 24 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing The Wooster Brush Company at rank #12,717 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in A46B (BRUSHES). As a US Corporation, The Wooster Brush Company is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, The sits between Tensera Networks Ltd. (24 patents, rank #12,713) and Touchcast, Inc. (24 patents, rank #12,721) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 42.9/100 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 17 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a +143% 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 Wooster Brush Company's 10.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark The Wooster Brush Company against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
The's 24 grants land it in the top 29% 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.
