Portfolio overview

ICE Thermal Harvesting, Llc has been granted 49 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing ICE Thermal Harvesting, Llc at rank #6,786 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 23.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in F01K (STEAM ENGINE PLANTS; STEAM ACCUMULATORS; ENGINE PLANTS NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; ENGINES USING SPECIAL WORKING FLUIDS OR CYCLES). As a US Corporation, ICE Thermal Harvesting, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, ICE sits between Grow Solutions Tech Llc (49 patents, rank #6,782) and Industrie DE NORA S.p.a. (49 patents, rank #6,790) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 60.0/100 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 2021 through 2025, with 49 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. ICE Thermal Harvesting, Llc's 23.8 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ICE Thermal Harvesting, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
