The verdict
LG holds 11 US patents across 7 technology areas, rank #24,683 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
LG Nanoh2o, Inc. has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2016 and 2019, placing LG Nanoh2o, Inc. at rank #24,683 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 7 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in B01D (SEPARATION). As a US Corporation, LG Nanoh2o, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, LG sits between Layerwise Nv (11 patents, rank #24,679) and Limited Liability Company “radio Gigabit” (11 patents, rank #24,687) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 27.7/100 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 0 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. LG Nanoh2o, Inc.'s 16.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 7 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark LG Nanoh2o, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
LG's 11 grants land it in the top 75% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
Patent counts and the Innovation Score measure patenting activity, not commercial success or the legal strength of any patent. Many patents are filed defensively. Verify the status of an individual patent against official USPTO records.
