Portfolio overview

Wilton Industries, Inc. has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2015 and 2018, placing Wilton Industries, Inc. at rank #25,520 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 16 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A21C (MACHINES OR EQUIPMENT FOR MAKING OR PROCESSING DOUGHS; HANDLING BAKED ARTICLES MADE FROM DOUGH). As a US Corporation, Wilton Industries, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Wilton sits between WELL Being Digital Limited (11 patents, rank #25,516) and Woori FINE CHEM Co., Ltd. (11 patents, rank #25,524) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 28.6/100 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 0 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% 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. Wilton Industries, Inc.'s 9.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 16 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Wilton Industries, 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.
