Portfolio overview
Kellogg Brown & Root LLC has been granted 86 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Kellogg Brown & Root LLC at rank #4,160 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 39 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.0 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, Kellogg Brown & Root LLC is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 56.8/100 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 45 grants, compared with 41 in the 2015–2019 window — a +10% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Kellogg Brown & Root LLC's 14.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 39 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Kellogg Brown & Root LLC against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
