Portfolio overview

Neste OYJ has been granted 145 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Neste OYJ at rank #2,680 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 42 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02P (CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION TECHNOLOGIES IN THE PRODUCTION OR PROCESSING OF GOODS). As a Foreign Corporation, Neste OYJ is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Neste sits between Fluor Technologies Corporation (145 patents, rank #2,676) and China University Of Petroleum—beijing (144 patents, rank #2,684) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 63.4/100 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 118 grants, compared with 27 in the 2015–2019 window, a +337% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Neste OYJ's 19.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 42 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Neste OYJ against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
