The verdict
Wayne holds 134 US patents across 38 technology areas, rank #2,869 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Wayne Fueling Systems Llc has been granted 134 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Wayne Fueling Systems Llc at rank #2,869 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 38 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06Q (INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY [ICT] SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE, COMMERCIAL, FINANCIAL, MANAGERIAL OR SUPERVISORY PURPOSES; SYSTEMS OR METHODS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE,). As a US Corporation, Wayne Fueling Systems Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Wayne sits between Smith & Wesson Inc. (134 patents, rank #2,865) and Arctic Cat Inc. (133 patents, rank #2,873) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.3/100 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 92 grants, compared with 42 in the 2015–2019 window, a +119% 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. Wayne Fueling Systems Llc's 16.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 38 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Wayne Fueling Systems Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Wayne's 134 grants land it in the top 5% 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.
