Portfolio overview

Cummins Emission Solutions Inc. has been granted 335 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Cummins Emission Solutions Inc. at rank #1,263 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 42 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in F01N (GAS-FLOW SILENCERS OR EXHAUST APPARATUS FOR MACHINES OR ENGINES IN GENERAL; GAS-FLOW SILENCERS OR EXHAUST APPARATUS FOR INTERNAL-COMBUSTION ENGINES). As a US Corporation, Cummins Emission Solutions Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Cummins sits between Silicon Works Co., Ltd. (337 patents, rank #1,259) and Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (334 patents, rank #1,267) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 59.5/100 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 193 grants, compared with 142 in the 2015–2019 window, a +36% 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. Cummins Emission Solutions Inc.'s 17.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 42 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Cummins Emission Solutions Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Cummins's 335 grants land it in the top 4% 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 - Cummins ranks #1,263 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in F01N - see who else leads that technology area. F01N 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.
