The verdict
BWXT holds 90 US patents across 14 technology areas, rank #3,997 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
BWXT Mpower, Inc. has been granted 90 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing BWXT Mpower, Inc. at rank #3,997 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.0 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, BWXT Mpower, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, BWXT sits between Whirlpool S.a. (91 patents, rank #3,993) and Camco Manufacturing, Llc (90 patents, rank #4,001) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 39.2/100 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 44 grants, compared with 46 in the 2015–2019 window, a -4% 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. BWXT Mpower, Inc.'s 12.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 14 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark BWXT Mpower, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
BWXT's 90 grants land it in the top 39% 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.
