Portfolio overview

DRS Power & Control Technologies, Inc. has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2015 and 2020, placing DRS Power & Control Technologies, Inc. at rank #26,121 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in H02P (CONTROL OR REGULATION OF ELECTRIC MOTORS, ELECTRIC GENERATORS OR DYNAMO-ELECTRIC CONVERTERS; CONTROLLING TRANSFORMERS, REACTORS OR CHOKE COILS). As a US Corporation, DRS Power & Control Technologies, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, DRS sits between DRB Industrial Co., Ltd. (10 patents, rank #26,117) and DS Smith Plastics, Ltd. (10 patents, rank #26,125) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 32.5/100 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 1 grants, compared with 9 in the 2015–2019 window, a -89% 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. DRS Power & Control Technologies, Inc.'s 17.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 15 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark DRS Power & Control Technologies, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
