USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 6 granted patents across 8 technology areas, active 2021–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H01M (PROCESSES OR MEANS, e.g. BATTERIES, FOR THE DIRECT CONVERSION OF CHEMICAL ENERGY INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY).
The verdict
BASF holds 6 US patents across 8 technology areas, rank #39,023 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
BASF TODA Battery Materials Llc has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing BASF TODA Battery Materials Llc at rank #39,023 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01M (PROCESSES OR MEANS, e.g. BATTERIES, FOR THE DIRECT CONVERSION OF CHEMICAL ENERGY INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY). As a Foreign Corporation, BASF TODA Battery Materials Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, BASF sits between Barclays Services Limited (6 patents, rank #39,019) and BAY ZU Precision Co., Ltd. (6 patents, rank #39,027) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 26.0/100 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. Historical data spans 2021 through 2025, with 6 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. BASF TODA Battery Materials Llc's 8.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark BASF TODA Battery Materials Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
BASF's 6 grants land it in the top 81% 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.
