Portfolio overview

Montana Technological University has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Montana Technological University at rank #41,785 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01R (MEASURING ELECTRIC VARIABLES; MEASURING MAGNETIC VARIABLES). As a US Corporation, Montana Technological University is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Montana sits between Momentum Bioscience Limited (6 patents, rank #41,781) and Mosaic Manufacturing Ltd. (6 patents, rank #41,789) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 37.8/100 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 5 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +400% 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. Montana Technological University's 13.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 14 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Montana Technological University against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
