Portfolio overview

Rillito River Solar, Llc has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2016 and 2019, placing Rillito River Solar, Llc at rank #25,089 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.3 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, Rillito River Solar, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Rillito sits between Ribon Therapeutics, Inc. (11 patents, rank #25,085) and Ripley Tools, Llc (11 patents, rank #25,093) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 30.1/100 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 0 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% 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. Rillito River Solar, Llc's 19.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Rillito River Solar, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
