Portfolio overview

MORGAN STANLEY SERVICES GROUP INC. has been granted 178 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing MORGAN STANLEY SERVICES GROUP INC. at rank #2,210 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 23 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, MORGAN STANLEY SERVICES GROUP INC. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 61.2/100 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 175 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window — a +5733% 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. MORGAN STANLEY SERVICES GROUP INC.'s 17.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 23 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark MORGAN STANLEY SERVICES GROUP INC. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
