Portfolio overview
PITCO FRIALATOR, INC. has been granted 24 US utility patents between 2016 and 2024, placing PITCO FRIALATOR, INC. at rank #12,615 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in A47J (KITCHEN EQUIPMENT; COFFEE MILLS; SPICE MILLS; APPARATUS FOR MAKING BEVERAGES). As a US Corporation, PITCO FRIALATOR, INC. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 41.7/100 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 13 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window, a +18% 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. PITCO FRIALATOR, INC.'s 14.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 15 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark PITCO FRIALATOR, INC. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
