Portfolio overview

Konecranes Global Corporation has been granted 135 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Konecranes Global Corporation at rank #2,843 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 67 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in B66C (CRANES; LOAD-ENGAGING ELEMENTS OR DEVICES FOR CRANES, CAPSTANS, WINCHES, OR TACKLES). As a Foreign Corporation, Konecranes Global Corporation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Konecranes sits between Geodynamics, Inc. (135 patents, rank #2,839) and Omnitek Partners Llc (135 patents, rank #2,847) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 54.5/100 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 78 grants, compared with 57 in the 2015–2019 window, a +37% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Konecranes Global Corporation's 14.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 67 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Konecranes Global Corporation 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.
