USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 129 granted patents across 103 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).
The verdict
Nano holds 129 US patents across 103 technology areas, rank #2,950 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Nano And Advanced Materials Institute Limited has been granted 129 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Nano And Advanced Materials Institute Limited at rank #2,950 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 103 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.7 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, Nano And Advanced Materials Institute Limited is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Nano sits between First DATA Corporation (129 patents, rank #2,946) and University OF Southampton (129 patents, rank #2,954) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.5/100 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 63 grants, compared with 66 in the 2015–2019 window, a -5% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Nano And Advanced Materials Institute Limited's 14.7 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 Nano And Advanced Materials Institute Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Nano's 129 grants land it in the top 5% 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.
