What this shows Vesuvius U S A Corporation stamps GRANTS-MICRO, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-THIN, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-USCORP, VEL-UP, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #16,492 of 50,000; Innovation Score 36.4/100 sits in the top 47% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Valeo Securite Habitacle (±0 grants).
Vesuvius U S A Corporation has been granted 18 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing Vesuvius U S A Corporation at #16,492 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 19 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in B22D (CASTING OF METALS; CASTING OF OTHER SUBSTANCES BY THE SAME PROCESSES OR DEVICES). As a US Corporation, Vesuvius U S A Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Vesuvius sits between Valeo Securite Habitacle (18 patents, rank #16,483) and Vocalzoom Systems Ltd. (18 patents, rank #16,491) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 36.4/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 10 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a +43% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Vesuvius U S A Corporation's 13.9 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 19 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
