Portfolio overview

Weber-Stephen Products LLC has been granted 206 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Weber-Stephen Products LLC at rank #1,957 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 37 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 7.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in A47J (KITCHEN EQUIPMENT; COFFEE MILLS; SPICE MILLS; APPARATUS FOR MAKING BEVERAGES). As a US Corporation, Weber-Stephen Products LLC is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 55.5/100 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 135 grants, compared with 71 in the 2015–2019 window — a +90% 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. Weber-Stephen Products LLC's 7.9 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 37 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Weber-Stephen Products LLC against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
