Portfolio overview

Electro-Motive Diesel, Inc. has been granted 183 US utility patents between 2015 and 2018, placing Electro-Motive Diesel, Inc. at rank #2,154 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 81 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02T (CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION TECHNOLOGIES RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION). As a US Corporation, Electro-Motive Diesel, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 53.6/100 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 0 grants, compared with 183 in the 2015–2019 window — a -100% 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. Electro-Motive Diesel, Inc.'s 17.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 81 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Electro-Motive Diesel, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
