What this shows Mastercard Asia/pacific PTE. Ltd. stamps GRANTS-SMALL, UPPER-Q, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-SURGE, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #5,861 of 50,000; Innovation Score 41.5/100 sits in the top 33% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Leapfrog Product Development Llc (±0 grants).
Mastercard Asia/pacific PTE. Ltd. has been granted 58 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Mastercard Asia/pacific PTE. Ltd. at #5,861 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06Q (INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY [ICT] SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE, COMMERCIAL, FINANCIAL, MANAGERIAL OR SUPERVISORY PURPOSES; SYSTEMS OR METHODS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE,). As a Foreign Corporation, Mastercard Asia/pacific PTE. Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Mastercard sits between Leapfrog Product Development Llc (58 patents, rank #5,857) and National Nail Corp. (58 patents, rank #5,865) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.5/100 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 43 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window, a +291% 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. Mastercard Asia/pacific PTE. Ltd.'s 16.6 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 14 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
