Where does ENGIE rank among US patent assignees?

According to USPTO PatentsView (2015–2025 granted utility patents), ENGIE ranks #17,640 of 49,997 assignees by granted-patent volume, the same sort as the companies listing and top-holders ranking. See /methodology/#corpus-placement.

How many patents does ENGIE hold?

ENGIE holds 16 US utility patents granted between 2017 and 2025, spanning 25 technology areas.

What is ENGIE's Innovation Score?

ENGIE has an Innovation Score of 39.5 out of 100 (top 38% of the corpus). This composite metric weighs portfolio volume (40%), grant velocity (20%), technology breadth (25%), and claim depth (15%).

Is ENGIE's patent grant rate increasing or decreasing?

ENGIE's recent grant velocity is +100% compared to the prior five-year period (grant years, not application filing dates). This indicates accelerating grant output.

What does claim depth mean for ENGIE's patents?

ENGIE's patents average 15.7 claims each. This is an aggregate descriptive count from the grant record; it does not establish claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk.

How is the ENGIE patent data sourced?

All patent data comes from USPTO PatentsView, a public research dataset maintained by the United States Patent and Trademark Office covering US granted utility patents from 2015 to 2025.

What this shows Engie's Innovation Score is 39.5/100 (top 38% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Engie?

Each dot is one of Engie’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Engie’s own 15.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Engie's grants concentrate

ENGIE is a focused PatentsView assignee: 25 CPC subclasses with 31.3% of grants classified under F17C (Vessels FOR Containing OR Storing Compressed, Liquefied OR Solidified GASES; Fixed-capacity GAS-HOLDERS; Filling Vessels With, OR Discharging From Vessels, Compressed, Liquefied, OR Solidified Gases). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Engie sits between EControls, LLC and Epic Semiconductors Inc.

Engie's three-year grant acceleration

ENGIE shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
