Portfolio overview

Abengoa Solar New Technologies, S.a. has been granted 35 US utility patents between 2015 and 2019, placing Abengoa Solar New Technologies, S.a. at rank #8,975 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 42 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02E (REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS [GHG] EMISSIONS, RELATED TO ENERGY GENERATION, TRANSMISSION OR DISTRIBUTION). As a Foreign Corporation, Abengoa Solar New Technologies, S.a. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Abengoa sits between Amazonen-werke H. Dreyer SE & Co. KG (35 patents, rank #8,971) and Altair Engineering, Inc. (35 patents, rank #8,979) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 43.3/100 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 35 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 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. Abengoa Solar New Technologies, S.a.'s 13.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 42 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Abengoa Solar New Technologies, S.a. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
