Portfolio overview

Municipal Parking Services, Inc. has been granted 21 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Municipal Parking Services, Inc. at rank #14,147 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 18 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in G07B (TICKET-ISSUING APPARATUS; FARE-REGISTERING APPARATUS; FRANKING APPARATUS). As a US Corporation, Municipal Parking Services, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Municipal sits between Mitsubishi Electric Home Appliance Co., Ltd. (21 patents, rank #14,143) and Namlab Ggmbh (21 patents, rank #14,151) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.4/100 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 16 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a +220% 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. Municipal Parking Services, Inc.'s 17.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 18 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Municipal Parking Services, Inc. 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.
