Portfolio overview

LG Energy Solution, Ltd. has been granted 2,270 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing LG Energy Solution, Ltd. at rank #173 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 165 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01M (PROCESSES OR MEANS, e.g. BATTERIES, FOR THE DIRECT CONVERSION OF CHEMICAL ENERGY INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY). As a Foreign Corporation, LG Energy Solution, Ltd. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, LG sits between Alibaba Group Holding Limited (2,299 patents, rank #169) and Daikin Industries, Ltd. (2,229 patents, rank #177) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 79.3/100 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 2,270 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. LG Energy Solution, Ltd.'s 12.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark LG Energy Solution, Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
