USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 9 granted patents across 10 technology areas, active 2019–2022. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: Y02A (TECHNOLOGIES FOR ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE).
The verdict
Deepwater holds 9 US patents across 10 technology areas, rank #28,581 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Deepwater Desal Llc has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2019 and 2022, placing Deepwater Desal Llc at rank #28,581 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02A (TECHNOLOGIES FOR ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE). As a US Corporation, Deepwater Desal Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Deepwater sits between Dawning Leading Technology Inc. (9 patents, rank #28,577) and Delta ID, Inc. (9 patents, rank #28,585) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 29.7/100 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 7 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +250% 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. Deepwater Desal Llc's 14.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Deepwater Desal Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Deepwater's 9 grants land it in the top 68% 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.
