Portfolio overview

Van Straten Enterprises, Inc has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing Van Straten Enterprises, Inc at rank #27,760 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 27.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in F21S (NON-PORTABLE LIGHTING DEVICES; SYSTEMS THEREOF; VEHICLE LIGHTING DEVICES SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR VEHICLE EXTERIORS). As a US Corporation, Van Straten Enterprises, Inc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Van sits between VUV Analytics, Inc. (10 patents, rank #27,756) and Vaughn Gittin, Jr. Motorsports Llc—md (10 patents, rank #27,764) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 55.0/100 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. Historical data spans 2021 through 2025, with 10 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Van Straten Enterprises, Inc's 27.9 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Van Straten Enterprises, Inc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
