Portfolio overview

Berkshire Grey, Inc. has been granted 76 US utility patents between 2018 and 2022, placing Berkshire Grey, Inc. at rank #4,606 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 22 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 38.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in B25J (MANIPULATORS; CHAMBERS PROVIDED WITH MANIPULATION DEVICES). As a US Corporation, Berkshire Grey, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Berkshire sits between Aurrion, Inc. (76 patents, rank #4,602) and Coherus Biosciences, Inc. (76 patents, rank #4,610) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 46.8/100 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 61 grants, compared with 15 in the 2015–2019 window, a +307% 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. Berkshire Grey, Inc.'s 38.9 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 22 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Berkshire Grey, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Berkshire's 76 grants land it in the top 20% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Berkshire ranks #4,606 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in B25J - see who else leads that technology area. B25J leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
