The verdict
Rolls-royce holds 119 US patents across 36 technology areas, rank #3,162 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Rolls-royce High Temperature Composites, Inc. has been granted 119 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Rolls-royce High Temperature Composites, Inc. at rank #3,162 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 36 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in F05D (INDEXING SCHEME FOR ASPECTS RELATING TO NON-POSITIVE-DISPLACEMENT MACHINES OR ENGINES, GAS-TURBINES OR JET-PROPULSION PLANTS). As a US Corporation, Rolls-royce High Temperature Composites, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Rolls-royce sits between Lifetime Brands, Inc. (119 patents, rank #3,158) and Titan Medical Inc. (119 patents, rank #3,166) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.5/100 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 96 grants, compared with 23 in the 2015–2019 window, a +317% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Rolls-royce High Temperature Composites, Inc.'s 16.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 36 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Rolls-royce High Temperature Composites, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Rolls-royce's 119 grants land it in the top 11% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
