Portfolio overview

MS Technologies has been granted 156 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing MS Technologies at rank #2,503 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 18 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01H (NEW PLANTS OR ; NON-TRANSGENIC; PROCESSES FOR OBTAINING THEM; PLANT REPRODUCTION BY TISSUE CULTURE TECHNIQUES). As a US Corporation, MS Technologies is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, MS sits between B1 Institute OF Image Technology, Inc. (156 patents, rank #2,499) and Visera Technologies Company Limited (156 patents, rank #2,507) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 45.5/100 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 4 grants, compared with 152 in the 2015–2019 window, a -97% 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. MS Technologies's 20.6 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 18 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark MS Technologies against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
