The verdict
Berkshire holds 155 US patents across 27 technology areas, rank #2,511 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Berkshire Grey Operating Company, Inc. has been granted 155 US utility patents between 2022 and 2025, placing Berkshire Grey Operating Company, Inc. at rank #2,511 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 27 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 32.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in B65G (TRANSPORT OR STORAGE DEVICES, e.g. CONVEYORS FOR LOADING OR TIPPING, SHOP CONVEYOR SYSTEMS OR PNEUMATIC TUBE CONVEYORS). As a US Corporation, Berkshire Grey Operating Company, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Berkshire sits between Visera Technologies Company Limited (156 patents, rank #2,507) and Newport Fab, Llc (155 patents, rank #2,515) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 70.8/100 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. Historical data spans 2022 through 2025, with 155 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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 Operating Company, Inc.'s 32.5 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 27 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Berkshire Grey Operating Company, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Berkshire's 155 grants land it in the top 0.1% 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.
