Portfolio overview

Cummins Filtration IP, Inc. has been granted 316 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Cummins Filtration IP, Inc. at rank #1,337 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 59 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in B01D (SEPARATION). As a US Corporation, Cummins Filtration IP, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Cummins sits between Harman Becker Automotive Systems Gmbh (317 patents, rank #1,333) and Manufacturing Resources International, Inc. (315 patents, rank #1,341) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 64.0/100 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 201 grants, compared with 115 in the 2015–2019 window, a +75% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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 Filtration IP, Inc.'s 18.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 59 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Cummins Filtration IP, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
