Portfolio overview

Water Pik, Inc. has been granted 248 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Water Pik, Inc. at rank #1,661 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 34 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 7.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61C (DENTISTRY; APPARATUS OR METHODS FOR ORAL OR DENTAL HYGIENE). As a US Corporation, Water Pik, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Water sits between Magpul Industries Corp. (248 patents, rank #1,657) and Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, Llc (247 patents, rank #1,665) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 49.7/100 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 138 grants, compared with 110 in the 2015–2019 window, a +25% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Water Pik, Inc.'s 7.8 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 Water Pik, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Water's 248 grants land it in the top 14% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Water ranks #1,661 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in A61C - see who else leads that technology area. A61C leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
