Portfolio overview

Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions, Inc. has been granted 23 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions, Inc. at rank #12,914 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in C08L (COMPOSITIONS OF MACROMOLECULAR COMPOUNDS). As a US Corporation, Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Ergon sits between Elite Electronic Material (zhongshan) Co., Ltd. (23 patents, rank #12,910) and FHE USA Llc (23 patents, rank #12,918) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 44.2/100 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 16 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a +129% 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. Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions, Inc.'s 18.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 15 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
