Overall rank by patents
#26,001
Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 10 granted patents across 5 technology areas, active 2017–2021. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G01R (MEASURING ELECTRIC VARIABLES; MEASURING MAGNETIC VARIABLES).
The verdict
CR holds 10 US patents across 5 technology areas, rank #26,001 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
CR Development AB has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2017 and 2021, placing CR Development AB at rank #26,001 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01R (MEASURING ELECTRIC VARIABLES; MEASURING MAGNETIC VARIABLES). As a Foreign Corporation, CR Development AB is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, CR sits between Cosentino Research & Development S.l. (10 patents, rank #25,997) and Cresta Intelligence Inc. (10 patents, rank #26,005) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 25.3/100 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 5 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a +0% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. CR Development AB's 15.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 5 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark CR Development AB against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
CR's 10 grants land it in the top 83% 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.
