Portfolio overview

Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Tech., Llc has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2020 and 2022, placing Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Tech., Llc at rank #24,270 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in F16H (GEARING). As a US Corporation, Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Tech., Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Eaton sits between Ezisurg Medical Co., Ltd. (11 patents, rank #24,266) and Edeniq, Inc. (11 patents, rank #24,274) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 37.8/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2022, with 11 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Tech., Llc's 18.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Tech., Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
