The verdict
Exxonmobil holds 1,350 US patents across 120 technology areas, rank #318 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Exxonmobil Chemical Patents Inc. has been granted 1,350 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Exxonmobil Chemical Patents Inc. at rank #318 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 120 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in C08F (MACROMOLECULAR COMPOUNDS OBTAINED BY REACTIONS ONLY INVOLVING CARBON-TO-CARBON UNSATURATED BONDS). As a US Corporation, Exxonmobil Chemical Patents Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Exxonmobil sits between University Of Florida Research Foundation, Inc. (1,362 patents, rank #314) and Kubota Corporation (1,340 patents, rank #322) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 65.4/100 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 586 grants, compared with 764 in the 2015–2019 window, a -23% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Exxonmobil Chemical Patents Inc.'s 19.5 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 Exxonmobil Chemical Patents Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Exxonmobil's 1,350 grants land it in the top 1% 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.
