Portfolio overview
RELIANCE INDUSTRIES LIMITED has been granted 146 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing RELIANCE INDUSTRIES LIMITED at rank #2,663 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 75 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in B01J (CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROCESSES, e.g. CATALYSIS OR COLLOID CHEMISTRY; THEIR RELEVANT APPARATUS). As a Foreign Corporation, RELIANCE INDUSTRIES LIMITED is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 53.2/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 46 grants, compared with 100 in the 2015–2019 window — a -54% 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. RELIANCE INDUSTRIES LIMITED's 12.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 75 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark RELIANCE INDUSTRIES LIMITED against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
