Portfolio overview

Northeast Electric Power University has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2021 and 2024, placing Northeast Electric Power University at rank #29,621 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 16 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 6.9 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, Northeast Electric Power University is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Northeast sits between Nobell Foods, Inc. (9 patents, rank #29,617) and Nylok Llc (9 patents, rank #29,625) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 46.2/100 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. Historical data spans 2021 through 2024, with 9 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Northeast Electric Power University's 6.9 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 16 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Northeast Electric Power University against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
