The verdict
C.m.i. holds 8 US patents across 5 technology areas, rank #31,116 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
C.m.i. Cerniere Meccaniche Industriali S.r.l. has been granted 8 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing C.m.i. Cerniere Meccaniche Industriali S.r.l. at rank #31,116 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in E05Y (INDEXING SCHEME ASSOCIATED WITH SUBCLASSES E05D AND E05F, RELATING TO CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS, ELECTRIC CONTROL, POWER SUPPLY, POWER SIGNAL OR TRANSMISSION, USER INTERFACES, MOUNTING OR COUPLING, DETAIL). As a Foreign Corporation, C.m.i. Cerniere Meccaniche Industriali S.r.l. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, C.m.i. sits between Butts Properties, Ltd. (8 patents, rank #31,112) and Canada PIPE Company ULC (8 patents, rank #31,120) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 28.5/100 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 6 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +200% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The Foreign 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. C.m.i. Cerniere Meccaniche Industriali S.r.l.'s 10.5 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 5 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark C.m.i. Cerniere Meccaniche Industriali S.r.l. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
C.m.i.'s 8 grants land it in the top 73% 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.
