Portfolio overview
Crane Payment Innovations, Inc. has been granted 53 US utility patents between 2016 and 2024, placing Crane Payment Innovations, Inc. at rank #6,322 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 24 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G07D (HANDLING OF COINS OR VALUABLE PAPERS, e.g. TESTING, SORTING BY DENOMINATIONS, COUNTING, DISPENSING, CHANGING OR DEPOSITING). As a US Corporation, Crane Payment Innovations, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 45.6/100 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 28 grants, compared with 25 in the 2015–2019 window — a +12% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. The US 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. Crane Payment Innovations, Inc.'s 18.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 24 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Crane Payment Innovations, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
