Portfolio overview
MS Printing Solutions S.r.l has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2018 and 2021, placing MS Printing Solutions S.r.l at rank #41,644 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 6 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in B41J (TYPEWRITERS; SELECTIVE PRINTING MECHANISMS, i.e. MECHANISMS PRINTING OTHERWISE THAN FROM A FORME; CORRECTION OF TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS). As a Foreign Corporation, MS Printing Solutions S.r.l is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, MS sits between MR. Christmas Incorporated (6 patents, rank #41,640) and MSD Wellcome Trust Hilleman Laboratories PVT. Ltd. (6 patents, rank #41,648) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 28.1/100 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 Foreign 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. MS Printing Solutions S.r.l's 21.2 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 6 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark MS Printing Solutions S.r.l against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
