Portfolio overview
Locus Energy, Inc. has been granted 16 US utility patents between 2015 and 2021, placing Locus Energy, Inc. at rank #17,846 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 22 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02E (REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS [GHG] EMISSIONS, RELATED TO ENERGY GENERATION, TRANSMISSION OR DISTRIBUTION). As a US Corporation, Locus Energy, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 35.8/100 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 7 grants, compared with 9 in the 2015–2019 window, a -22% 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. Locus Energy, Inc.'s 15.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 22 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Locus Energy, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
