Portfolio overview

Moog Inc. has been granted 163 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Moog Inc. at rank #2,402 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 93 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in H02K (DYNAMO-ELECTRIC MACHINES). As a US Corporation, Moog Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 58.4/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 79 grants, compared with 84 in the 2015–2019 window — a -6% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Moog Inc.'s 17.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 93 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Moog Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
