The verdict
MSC holds 6 US patents across 7 technology areas, rank #41,646 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
MSC Services Corp. has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing MSC Services Corp. at rank #41,646 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 7 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06Q (INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY [ICT] SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE, COMMERCIAL, FINANCIAL, MANAGERIAL OR SUPERVISORY PURPOSES; SYSTEMS OR METHODS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE,). As a US Corporation, MSC Services Corp. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, MSC sits between MRL Materials Resources Llc (6 patents, rank #41,642) and MSRF, Inc. (6 patents, rank #41,650) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 33.1/100 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 3 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +0% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. MSC Services Corp.'s 21.0 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 7 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark MSC Services Corp. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
MSC's 6 grants land it in the top 57% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
