Portfolio overview

Ingevity South Carolina, Llc has been granted 53 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Ingevity South Carolina, Llc at rank #6,341 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 30 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 23.1 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, Ingevity South Carolina, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Ingevity sits between Hello Inc. (53 patents, rank #6,337) and Instart Logic, Inc. (53 patents, rank #6,345) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 52.9/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 39 grants, compared with 14 in the 2015–2019 window, a +179% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Ingevity South Carolina, Llc's 23.1 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 30 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Ingevity South Carolina, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
