Portfolio overview

Cubic Corporation has been granted 202 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Cubic Corporation at rank #1,981 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 75 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.7 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, Cubic Corporation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Cubic sits between Tridonic Gmbh & Co KG (203 patents, rank #1,977) and Indian Oil Corporation Limited (202 patents, rank #1,985) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 56.1/100 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 57 grants, compared with 145 in the 2015–2019 window, a -61% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Cubic Corporation's 17.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 75 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Cubic Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Cubic's 202 grants land it in the top 6% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Cubic ranks #1,981 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in G06Q - see who else leads that technology area. G06Q 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.
