The verdict
TAE holds 85 US patents across 30 technology areas, rank #4,223 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
TAE Technologies, Inc. has been granted 85 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing TAE Technologies, Inc. at rank #4,223 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 30 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 22.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in H05H (PLASMA TECHNIQUE ; PRODUCTION OF ACCELERATED ELECTRICALLY-CHARGED PARTICLES OR OF NEUTRONS; PRODUCTION OR ACCELERATION OF NEUTRAL MOLECULAR OR ATOMIC BEAMS). As a US Corporation, TAE Technologies, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, TAE sits between SAGE Electrochromics, Inc. (85 patents, rank #4,219) and Tufts University (85 patents, rank #4,227) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 60.7/100 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 75 grants, compared with 10 in the 2015–2019 window, a +650% 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. TAE Technologies, Inc.'s 22.4 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 30 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark TAE Technologies, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
TAE's 85 grants land it in the top 3% 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.
