The verdict
USG holds 80 US patents across 37 technology areas, rank #4,443 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
USG Interiors, Llc has been granted 80 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing USG Interiors, Llc at rank #4,443 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 37 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in E04B (GENERAL BUILDING CONSTRUCTIONS; WALLS, e.g. PARTITIONS; ROOFS; FLOORS; CEILINGS; INSULATION OR OTHER PROTECTION OF BUILDINGS). As a US Corporation, USG Interiors, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, USG sits between TOYO INK SC Holdings Co., Ltd. (80 patents, rank #4,439) and Thyssenkrupp Elevator Corporation (80 patents, rank #4,447) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 46.6/100 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 23 grants, compared with 57 in the 2015–2019 window, a -60% 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. USG Interiors, Llc's 8.1 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, 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 USG Interiors, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
USG's 80 grants land it in the top 20% 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.
