The verdict
Waskey holds 18 US patents across 10 technology areas, rank #16,504 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Waskey Bridges, Inc. has been granted 18 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Waskey Bridges, Inc. at rank #16,504 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 23.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in F16L (PIPES; JOINTS OR FITTINGS FOR PIPES; SUPPORTS FOR PIPES, CABLES OR PROTECTIVE TUBING; MEANS FOR THERMAL INSULATION IN GENERAL). As a US Corporation, Waskey Bridges, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Waskey sits between Virco Mfg. Corporation (18 patents, rank #16,500) and Wittur Holding Gmbh (18 patents, rank #16,508) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.1/100 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 13 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a +160% 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. Waskey Bridges, Inc.'s 23.4 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Waskey Bridges, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Waskey's 18 grants land it in the top 34% 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.
