Portfolio overview

ADVANCED PLATING, INC. has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2018 and 2021, placing ADVANCED PLATING, INC. at rank #34,073 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 1 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in G10D (STRINGED MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS; WIND MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS; ACCORDIONS OR CONCERTINAS; PERCUSSION MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS; AEOLIAN HARPS; SINGING-FLAME MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS; MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS NOT OTHERWISE P). As a US Corporation, ADVANCED PLATING, INC. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 23.0/100 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 3 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window — a -25% 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. ADVANCED PLATING, INC.'s 20.4 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while specialization in 1 subclass reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ADVANCED PLATING, INC. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
