Valspar Sourcing, Inc.

Valspar Sourcing, Inc. has been granted 84 US utility patents between 2015 and 2020, placing Valspar Sourcing, Inc. at rank #4,269 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 45 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.5 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, Valspar Sourcing, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 51.9/100 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 8 grants, compared with 76 in the 2015–2019 window — a -89% 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. Valspar Sourcing, Inc.'s 21.5 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 45 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Valspar Sourcing, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
