Portfolio overview
Crestron Electronics, Inc. has been granted 442 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Crestron Electronics, Inc. at rank #995 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 70 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a US Corporation, Crestron Electronics, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 60.1/100 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 252 grants, compared with 190 in the 2015–2019 window — a +33% 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. Crestron Electronics, Inc.'s 12.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 70 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Crestron Electronics, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
