Portfolio overview

Ge-hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas Llc has been granted 215 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Ge-hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas Llc at rank #1,865 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 81 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02E (REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS [GHG] EMISSIONS, RELATED TO ENERGY GENERATION, TRANSMISSION OR DISTRIBUTION). As a US Corporation, Ge-hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Ge-hitachi sits between AT&S Austria Technologie & Systemtechnik Aktiengesellschaft (216 patents, rank #1,861) and Westerngeco L.l.c. (215 patents, rank #1,869) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 58.3/100 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 99 grants, compared with 116 in the 2015–2019 window, a -15% 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. Ge-hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas Llc's 15.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 81 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Ge-hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
