Portfolio overview

Universal Entertainment Corporation has been granted 338 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Universal Entertainment Corporation at rank #1,255 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 38 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in G07F (COIN-FREED OR LIKE APPARATUS). As a Foreign Corporation, Universal Entertainment Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Universal sits between Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems Llc (338 patents, rank #1,251) and Silicon Works Co., Ltd. (337 patents, rank #1,259) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 50.1/100 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 93 grants, compared with 245 in the 2015–2019 window, a -62% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. The Foreign 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. Universal Entertainment Corporation's 9.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 38 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Universal Entertainment Corporation 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.
