Portfolio overview

Zodiac POOL Systems Llc has been granted 87 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Zodiac POOL Systems Llc at rank #4,143 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 58 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in E04H (BUILDINGS OR LIKE STRUCTURES FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSES; SWIMMING OR SPLASH BATHS OR POOLS; MASTS; FENCING; TENTS OR CANOPIES, IN GENERAL). As a US Corporation, Zodiac POOL Systems Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Zodiac sits between VAT Holding Ag (87 patents, rank #4,139) and Cambro Manufacturing Company (86 patents, rank #4,147) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 52.5/100 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 57 grants, compared with 30 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. Zodiac POOL Systems Llc's 11.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 58 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Zodiac POOL Systems Llc 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.
