Portfolio overview

Quaker Chemical Corporation has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2017 and 2024, placing Quaker Chemical Corporation at rank #37,101 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in C10M (LUBRICATING COMPOSITIONS ; USE OF CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES EITHER ALONE OR AS LUBRICATING INGREDIENTS IN A LUBRICATING COMPOSITION). As a US Corporation, Quaker Chemical Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Quaker sits between Qingdao Jiahe Yongrun Beauty Technology Co., Ltd. (7 patents, rank #37,097) and Quantum Genomics (7 patents, rank #37,105) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 49.9/100 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 4 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +33% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Quaker Chemical Corporation's 15.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 14 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Quaker Chemical Corporation 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.
