Portfolio overview
BLOOM ENERGY CORPORATION has been granted 299 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing BLOOM ENERGY CORPORATION at rank #1,407 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 65 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02E (REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS [GHG] EMISSIONS, RELATED TO ENERGY GENERATION, TRANSMISSION OR DISTRIBUTION). As a US Corporation, BLOOM ENERGY CORPORATION is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 61.1/100 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 166 grants, compared with 133 in the 2015–2019 window — a +25% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. BLOOM ENERGY CORPORATION'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 65 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark BLOOM ENERGY CORPORATION against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
