Portfolio overview

Exxon Mobil Technology And Engineering Company has been granted 341 US utility patents between 2022 and 2025, placing Exxon Mobil Technology And Engineering Company at rank #1,243 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 120 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in B01J (CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROCESSES, e.g. CATALYSIS OR COLLOID CHEMISTRY; THEIR RELEVANT APPARATUS). As a US Corporation, Exxon Mobil Technology And Engineering Company is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Exxon sits between Cox Communications, Inc. (342 patents, rank #1,239) and HP Indigo B.v. (339 patents, rank #1,247) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 75.9/100 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. Historical data spans 2022 through 2025, with 341 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Exxon Mobil Technology And Engineering Company's 18.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Exxon Mobil Technology And Engineering Company against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
