Portfolio overview

Troy Group, Inc. has been granted 24 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Troy Group, Inc. at #12,725 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 24 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in C09D (COATING COMPOSITIONS, e.g. PAINTS, VARNISHES OR LACQUERS; FILLING PASTES; CHEMICAL PAINT OR INK REMOVERS; INKS; CORRECTING FLUIDS; WOODSTAINS; PASTES OR SOLIDS FOR COLOURING OR PRINTING; USE OF MATERI). As a US Corporation, Troy Group, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Troy sits between Tianjin University Of Science And Technology (24 patents, rank #12,720) and U.s. Farathane Corporation (24 patents, rank #12,728) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 38.2/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.

Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 8 grants, compared with 16 in the 2015–2019 window, a -50% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.

Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Troy Group, Inc.'s 13.0 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 24 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
