Portfolio overview

GRG Banking Equipment Co., Ltd. has been granted 120 US utility patents between 2015 and 2021, placing GRG Banking Equipment Co., Ltd. at rank #3,131 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 39 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in G07D (HANDLING OF COINS OR VALUABLE PAPERS, e.g. TESTING, SORTING BY DENOMINATIONS, COUNTING, DISPENSING, CHANGING OR DEPOSITING). As a Foreign Corporation, GRG Banking Equipment Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, GRG sits between Shutterfly, Llc (121 patents, rank #3,127) and K-tronics (suzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. (120 patents, rank #3,135) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 44.8/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 6 grants, compared with 114 in the 2015–2019 window, a -95% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. The Foreign 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. GRG Banking Equipment Co., Ltd.'s 10.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 39 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark GRG Banking Equipment Co., Ltd. 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.
