USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 282 granted patents across 71 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: Y02T (CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION TECHNOLOGIES RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION).
The verdict
Atieva holds 282 US patents across 71 technology areas, rank #1,471 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Atieva, Inc. has been granted 282 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Atieva, Inc. at rank #1,471 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 71 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02T (CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION TECHNOLOGIES RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION). As a US Corporation, Atieva, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Atieva sits between AMO Development, Llc (283 patents, rank #1,467) and Shandong University (281 patents, rank #1,475) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 73.0/100 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 139 grants, compared with 143 in the 2015–2019 window, a -3% 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. Atieva, Inc.'s 14.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 71 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Atieva, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Atieva's 282 grants land it in the top 0.1% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
