Portfolio overview
The Cycle Group has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2018 and 2024, placing The Cycle Group at rank #27,640 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 2 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in B62M (RIDER PROPULSION OF WHEELED VEHICLES OR SLEDGES; POWERED PROPULSION OF SLEDGES OR ; SINGLE-TRACK; CYCLES; TRANSMISSIONS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR SUCH VEHICLES). As a US Corporation, The Cycle Group is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, The sits between The Bartley J. Madden Foundation (10 patents, rank #27,636) and The H.d. Lee Company, Inc. (10 patents, rank #27,644) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 38.2/100 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 7 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +133% 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. The Cycle Group's 8.2 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 The Cycle Group against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
The's 10 grants land it in the top 41% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
- Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - The ranks #27,640 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
- Most of this portfolio concentrates in B62M - see who else leads that technology area. B62M leaders
- 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.
