Portfolio overview
Strasbaugh has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2015 and 2017, placing Strasbaugh at rank #43,372 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 2 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in B24B (MACHINES, DEVICES, OR PROCESSES FOR GRINDING OR POLISHING ; DRESSING OR CONDITIONING OF ABRADING SURFACES; FEEDING OF GRINDING, POLISHING, OR LAPPING AGENTS). As a US Corporation, Strasbaugh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Strasbaugh sits between Stop River Development Llc (6 patents, rank #43,368) and Streamline Automation Llc (6 patents, rank #43,376) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 18.8/100 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 0 grants, compared with 6 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% 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. Strasbaugh's 11.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 2 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Strasbaugh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

- Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works
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.
