Emerald Energy NW, Llc has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Emerald Energy NW, Llc at rank #26,248 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in F25B (REFRIGERATION MACHINES, PLANTS OR SYSTEMS; COMBINED HEATING AND REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS; HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS). As a US Corporation, Emerald Energy NW, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Emerald sits between Elite Power Solutions, Llc (10 patents, rank #26,244) and Energy Integration, Inc. (10 patents, rank #26,252) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 39.1/100 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 8 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +300% 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. Emerald Energy NW, Llc's 18.2 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 Emerald Energy NW, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Emerald's 10 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.
