Portfolio overview

Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2017 and 2022, placing Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company at rank #43,851 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 2 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in B62D (MOTOR VEHICLES; TRAILERS). As a US Corporation, Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Utility sits between Upskill, Inc. (6 patents, rank #43,847) and V5med Inc. (6 patents, rank #43,855) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 27.1/100 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 2 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a -50% 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. Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company's 14.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 2 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
