Portfolio overview

Terrapower, Llc has been granted 144 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Terrapower, Llc at rank #2,701 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 61 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 23.5 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, Terrapower, Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Terrapower sits between Qualcomm Technologies Inc. (144 patents, rank #2,697) and E Ink California, Llc (143 patents, rank #2,705) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 63.3/100 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 72 in the 2015–2019 window, a +0% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Terrapower, Llc's 23.5 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 61 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Terrapower, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
