Portfolio overview
Cotron Corporation has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2015 and 2022, placing Cotron Corporation at rank #24,166 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 2 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04R (LOUDSPEAKERS, MICROPHONES, GRAMOPHONE PICK-UPS OR LIKE ACOUSTIC ELECTROMECHANICAL TRANSDUCERS; DEAF-AID SETS; PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEMS). As a Foreign Corporation, Cotron Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Cotron sits between Corent Technology, Inc. (11 patents, rank #24,162) and Cross Commerce Media, Inc. (11 patents, rank #24,170) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 22.4/100 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 3 grants, compared with 8 in the 2015–2019 window, a -62% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Cotron Corporation's 9.2 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 2 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Cotron Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

- Most of this portfolio concentrates in H04R - see who else leads that technology area. H04R 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.
