What this shows Kennametal India Ltd. stamps GRANTS-SMALL, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-DROP, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #13,006 of 50,000; Innovation Score 53.1/100 sits in the top 9% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Kaikutek Inc. (±0 grants).
Kennametal India Ltd. has been granted 23 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Kennametal India Ltd. at #13,006 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in B23B (TURNING; BORING). As a Foreign Corporation, Kennametal India Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Kennametal sits between Kaikutek Inc. (23 patents, rank #13,001) and Kraco Enterprises, Llc. (23 patents, rank #13,009) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 53.1/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 8 grants, compared with 15 in the 2015–2019 window, a -47% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Kennametal India Ltd.'s 16.5 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 12 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
