Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Historical data spans 2020 through 2024, with 40 total grants over that period.

The US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.

Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. MKW Alloy, Inc.'s 1.0 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 0 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in 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 #8,077 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

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.
