As a US Corporation, Centaur Technology, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Centaur sits between CCC Information Services Inc. (21 patents, rank #13,901) and Chirogate International Inc. (21 patents, rank #13,909) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 53.0/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Historical data spans 2021 through 2025, with 21 total grants over that period. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Centaur Technology, Inc.'s 18.6 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 10 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
