Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 71 granted patents across 37 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: F25C (PRODUCING, WORKING OR HANDLING ICE).
The verdict
TRUE holds 71 US patents across 37 technology areas, rank #4,920 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
TRUE Manufacturing Co., Inc. has been granted 71 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing TRUE Manufacturing Co., Inc. at rank #4,920 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 37 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in F25C (PRODUCING, WORKING OR HANDLING ICE). As a US Corporation, TRUE Manufacturing Co., Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, TRUE sits between Sichuan Qianli-beoka Medical Technology Inc. (71 patents, rank #4,916) and University OF Science AND Technology OF China (71 patents, rank #4,924) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 58.6/100 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 56 grants, compared with 15 in the 2015–2019 window, a +273% 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. TRUE Manufacturing Co., Inc.'s 18.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 37 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark TRUE Manufacturing Co., Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
TRUE's 71 grants land it in the top 4% 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.
