Portfolio overview

Suncoke Technology AND Development Llc has been granted 96 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Suncoke Technology AND Development Llc at rank #3,785 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 43 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in C10B (DESTRUCTIVE DISTILLATION OF CARBONACEOUS MATERIALS FOR PRODUCTION OF GAS, COKE, TAR, OR SIMILAR MATERIALS). As a US Corporation, Suncoke Technology AND Development Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Suncoke sits between Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation (96 patents, rank #3,781) and Universitat Zurich (96 patents, rank #3,789) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.3/100 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 72 grants, compared with 24 in the 2015–2019 window, a +200% 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. Suncoke Technology AND Development Llc's 19.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 43 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Suncoke Technology AND Development Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
