Portfolio overview

INEOS STYROLUTION GROUP GMBH has been granted 89 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing INEOS STYROLUTION GROUP GMBH at rank #4,045 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 34 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in C08L (COMPOSITIONS OF MACROMOLECULAR COMPOUNDS). As a Foreign Corporation, INEOS STYROLUTION GROUP GMBH is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 51.5/100 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 63 grants, compared with 26 in the 2015–2019 window — a +142% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The Foreign 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. INEOS STYROLUTION GROUP GMBH's 15.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 34 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark INEOS STYROLUTION GROUP GMBH against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
