Portfolio overview

Vita-mix Management Corporation has been granted 120 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Vita-mix Management Corporation at rank #3,147 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 34 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in A47J (KITCHEN EQUIPMENT; COFFEE MILLS; SPICE MILLS; APPARATUS FOR MAKING BEVERAGES). As a US Corporation, Vita-mix Management Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Vita-mix sits between Sercel, Inc (120 patents, rank #3,143) and Ambit Microsystems (shanghai) Ltd. (119 patents, rank #3,151) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.1/100 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 73 grants, compared with 47 in the 2015–2019 window, a +55% 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. Vita-mix Management Corporation's 10.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, 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 Vita-mix Management Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
