Portfolio overview

Wenger Manufacturing Inc. has been granted 35 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Wenger Manufacturing Inc. at rank #9,164 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 21 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in A23P (SHAPING OR WORKING OF FOODSTUFFS, NOT FULLY COVERED BY A SINGLE OTHER SUBCLASS). As a US Corporation, Wenger Manufacturing Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Wenger sits between Volkswagen Group Of America Investments, Llc (35 patents, rank #9,160) and Zenithen USA, Llc (35 patents, rank #9,168) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 39.2/100 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 10 grants, compared with 25 in the 2015–2019 window, a -60% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Wenger Manufacturing Inc.'s 14.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 21 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Wenger Manufacturing Inc. 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.
