USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 21 granted patents across 15 technology areas, recorded in grant years 2015–2025. Grant-trend analysis is cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search; it does not measure application filings, current R&D, or legal strength. Primary class: B65D (CONTAINERS FOR STORAGE OR TRANSPORT OF ARTICLES OR MATERIALS, e.g. BAGS, BARRELS, BOTTLES, BOXES, CANS, CARTONS, CRATES, DRUMS, JARS, TANKS, HOPPERS, FORWARDING CONTAINERS; ACCESSORIES, CLOSURES, OR F).

What this shows Universal Trim Supply Co., Ltd. stamps GRANTS-SMALL, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-PAR, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-SURGE, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #14,357 of 50,000; Innovation Score 40.1/100 sits in the top 37% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Uniquify, Inc. (±0 grants).
Universal Trim Supply Co., Ltd. has been granted 21 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Universal Trim Supply Co., Ltd. at #14,357 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in B65D (CONTAINERS FOR STORAGE OR TRANSPORT OF ARTICLES OR MATERIALS, e.g. BAGS, BARRELS, BOTTLES, BOXES, CANS, CARTONS, CRATES, DRUMS, JARS, TANKS, HOPPERS, FORWARDING CONTAINERS; ACCESSORIES, CLOSURES, OR F). As a Foreign Corporation, Universal Trim Supply Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Universal sits between Université DE Reims Champagne-ardenne (21 patents, rank #14,356) and Vanguard International Semiconductor Singapore PTE. Ltd. (21 patents, rank #14,364) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 40.1/100 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 12 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a +71% 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 Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Universal Trim Supply Co., Ltd.'s 11.3 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 15 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
