What this shows Cognizant Trizetto Software Group, Inc. stamps GRANTS-MICRO, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-NARROW, INNOV-THIN, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-USCORP, VEL-DROP, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #16,692 of 50,000; Innovation Score 25.6/100 sits in the top 82% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Clayton Corporation (±0 grants).
Cognizant Trizetto Software Group, Inc. has been granted 17 US utility patents between 2017 and 2021, placing Cognizant Trizetto Software Group, Inc. at #16,692 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06Q (INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY [ICT] SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE, COMMERCIAL, FINANCIAL, MANAGERIAL OR SUPERVISORY PURPOSES; SYSTEMS OR METHODS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE,). As a US Corporation, Cognizant Trizetto Software Group, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Cognizant sits between Clayton Corporation (17 patents, rank #16,701) and Concurrent Technologies Corporation (17 patents, rank #16,709) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 25.6/100 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. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 6 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window, a -45% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. 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. Cognizant Trizetto Software Group, Inc.'s 14.2 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 4 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
