USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 777 granted patents across 91 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: C08F (MACROMOLECULAR COMPOUNDS OBTAINED BY REACTIONS ONLY INVOLVING CARBON-TO-CARBON UNSATURATED BONDS).
The verdict
Chevron holds 777 US patents across 91 technology areas, rank #578 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Chevron Phillips Chemical Company Lp has been granted 777 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Chevron Phillips Chemical Company Lp at rank #578 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 91 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in C08F (MACROMOLECULAR COMPOUNDS OBTAINED BY REACTIONS ONLY INVOLVING CARBON-TO-CARBON UNSATURATED BONDS). As a US Corporation, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company Lp is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Chevron sits between National Tsing HUA University (783 patents, rank #574) and Axis AB (769 patents, rank #582) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 67.7/100 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 398 grants, compared with 379 in the 2015–2019 window, a +5% 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. Chevron Phillips Chemical Company Lp's 21.4 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 91 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Chevron Phillips Chemical Company Lp against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Chevron's 777 grants land it in the top 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.
