The verdict
YETI holds 789 US patents across 32 technology areas, rank #570 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
YETI Coolers, Llc has been granted 789 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing YETI Coolers, Llc at rank #570 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 32 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 4.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in B65D (CONTAINERS FOR STORAGE OR TRANSPORT OF ARTICLES OR MATERIALS, e.g. BAGS, BARRELS, BOTTLES, BOXES, CANS, CARTONS, CRATES, DRUMS, JARS, TANKS, HOPPERS, FORWARDING CONTAINERS; ACCESSORIES, CLOSURES, OR F). As a US Corporation, YETI Coolers, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, YETI sits between Wipro Limited (794 patents, rank #566) and National Tsing HUA University (783 patents, rank #574) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 53.1/100 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 500 grants, compared with 289 in the 2015–2019 window, a +73% 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. YETI Coolers, Llc's 4.9 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 32 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark YETI Coolers, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
YETI's 789 grants land it in the top 9% 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.
