Portfolio overview

Nuvera Fuel Cells, Llc has been granted 71 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Nuvera Fuel Cells, Llc at rank #4,903 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 26 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 US Corporation, Nuvera Fuel Cells, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Nuvera sits between Mcalister Technologies, Llc (71 patents, rank #4,899) and Pro-iroda Industries, Inc. (71 patents, rank #4,907) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 45.4/100 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 28 grants, compared with 43 in the 2015–2019 window, a -35% 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. Nuvera Fuel Cells, Llc's 14.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 26 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Nuvera Fuel Cells, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
