Portfolio overview
MAKO Surgical Corp. has been granted 374 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing MAKO Surgical Corp. at rank #1,131 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 37 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). As a US Corporation, MAKO Surgical Corp. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 64.9/100 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 263 grants, compared with 111 in the 2015–2019 window — a +137% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. MAKO Surgical Corp.'s 19.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 37 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark MAKO Surgical Corp. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
