The verdict
Lubrizol holds 138 US patents across 60 technology areas — rank #2,792 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Lubrizol Advanced Materials, Inc. has been granted 138 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Lubrizol Advanced Materials, Inc. at rank #2,792 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 60 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in C08G (MACROMOLECULAR COMPOUNDS OBTAINED OTHERWISE THAN BY REACTIONS ONLY INVOLVING UNSATURATED CARBON-TO-CARBON BONDS). As a US Corporation, Lubrizol Advanced Materials, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 59.2/100 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 55 grants, compared with 83 in the 2015–2019 window — a -34% 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. Lubrizol Advanced Materials, Inc.'s 18.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 60 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Lubrizol Advanced Materials, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
