The verdict
Yakima holds 62 US patents across 10 technology areas — rank #5,562 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Yakima Products, Inc. has been granted 62 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Yakima Products, Inc. at rank #5,562 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60R (VEHICLES, VEHICLE FITTINGS, OR VEHICLE PARTS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a US Corporation, Yakima Products, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 35.9/100 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 34 grants, compared with 28 in the 2015–2019 window — a +21% 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. Yakima Products, Inc.'s 9.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Yakima Products, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Yakima's 62 grants land it in the top 48% 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.
