Portfolio overview
Timex Group USA, Inc. has been granted 23 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Timex Group USA, Inc. at rank #13,208 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 21 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in G04B (MECHANICALLY-DRIVEN CLOCKS OR WATCHES; MECHANICAL PARTS OF CLOCKS OR WATCHES IN GENERAL; TIME PIECES USING THE POSITION OF THE SUN, MOON OR STARS). As a US Corporation, Timex Group USA, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Timex sits between The United States Of America, As Represented By The Secretary Of Commerce National Institute Of Standards And Technology (23 patents, rank #13,204) and Truepic Inc. (23 patents, rank #13,212) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 37.8/100 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 9 grants, compared with 14 in the 2015–2019 window, a -36% 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. Timex Group USA, Inc.'s 8.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 21 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Timex Group USA, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
