#7,151
Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record — 46 granted patents across 52 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: Y02E (REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS [GHG] EMISSIONS, RELATED TO ENERGY GENERATION, TRANSMISSION OR DISTRIBUTION).
KEPCO ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION COMPANY INC. has been granted 46 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing KEPCO ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION COMPANY INC. at rank #7,151 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 52 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02E (REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS [GHG] EMISSIONS, RELATED TO ENERGY GENERATION, TRANSMISSION OR DISTRIBUTION). As a Foreign Corporation, KEPCO ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION COMPANY INC. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 47.5/100 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 25 grants, compared with 21 in the 2015–2019 window — a +19% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. KEPCO ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION COMPANY INC.'s 8.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 52 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark KEPCO ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION COMPANY INC. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
