Portfolio overview

MKW ALLOY, INC. has been granted 40 US utility patents between 2020 and 2024, placing MKW ALLOY, INC. at rank #8,072 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 0 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 1.0 claims per patent. As a US Corporation, MKW ALLOY, INC. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 22.4/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2024, with 40 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. MKW ALLOY, INC.'s 1.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 0 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark MKW ALLOY, INC. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

MKW's 40 grants land it in the top 90% by Innovation Score — but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance — MKW ranks #8,072 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works
