Portfolio overview
Datamax-O'Neil Corporation has been granted 132 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Datamax-O'Neil Corporation at rank #2,890 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 22 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in B41J (TYPEWRITERS; SELECTIVE PRINTING MECHANISMS, i.e. MECHANISMS PRINTING OTHERWISE THAN FROM A FORME; CORRECTION OF TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS). As a US Corporation, Datamax-O'Neil Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 46.2/100 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 74 grants, compared with 58 in the 2015–2019 window — a +28% 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. Datamax-O'Neil Corporation's 18.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 22 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Datamax-O'Neil Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
