Portfolio overview

Allison Transmission, Inc. has been granted 390 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Allison Transmission, Inc. at rank #1,093 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 64 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in F16H (GEARING). As a US Corporation, Allison Transmission, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Allison sits between Shenzhen Mindray Bio-medical Electronics Co., Ltd. (391 patents, rank #1,089) and Lutron Electronics Co., Inc. (389 patents, rank #1,097) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 61.8/100 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 164 grants, compared with 226 in the 2015–2019 window, a -27% 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. Allison Transmission, Inc.'s 19.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 64 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Allison Transmission, 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.
