The verdict
Vehicle holds 47 US patents across 34 technology areas, rank #7,096 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Vehicle Service Group, Llc has been granted 47 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Vehicle Service Group, Llc at rank #7,096 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 34 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in B66F (HOISTING, LIFTING, HAULING OR PUSHING, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR, e.g. DEVICES WHICH APPLY A LIFTING OR PUSHING FORCE DIRECTLY TO THE SURFACE OF A LOAD). As a US Corporation, Vehicle Service Group, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Vehicle sits between Tricorbraun Inc. (47 patents, rank #7,092) and Ziehl-abegg SE (47 patents, rank #7,100) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 56.5/100 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 33 grants, compared with 14 in the 2015–2019 window, a +136% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Vehicle Service Group, Llc's 17.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 34 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Vehicle Service Group, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Vehicle's 47 grants land it in the top 6% 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.
