Portfolio overview

Covestro Llc has been granted 232 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Covestro Llc at rank #1,749 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 82 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in C08G (MACROMOLECULAR COMPOUNDS OBTAINED OTHERWISE THAN BY REACTIONS ONLY INVOLVING UNSATURATED CARBON-TO-CARBON BONDS). As a US Corporation, Covestro Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Covestro sits between Evoqua Water Technologies Llc (233 patents, rank #1,745) and OFS Fitel, Llc (232 patents, rank #1,753) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 59.3/100 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 155 grants, compared with 77 in the 2015–2019 window, a +101% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Covestro Llc's 16.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 82 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Covestro Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
