The verdict
Thermochem holds 50 US patents across 31 technology areas, rank #6,719 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Thermochem Recovery International, Inc. has been granted 50 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Thermochem Recovery International, Inc. at rank #6,719 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 31 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 32.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in C01B (NON-METALLIC ELEMENTS; COMPOUNDS THEREOF; ; METALLOIDS OR COMPOUNDS THEREOF NOT COVERED BY SUBCLASS C01C). As a US Corporation, Thermochem Recovery International, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Thermochem sits between TGK Co., Ltd. (50 patents, rank #6,715) and W.c. Bradley Co. (50 patents, rank #6,723) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.0/100 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 19 grants, compared with 31 in the 2015–2019 window, a -39% 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. Thermochem Recovery International, Inc.'s 32.1 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 31 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Thermochem Recovery International, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Thermochem's 50 grants land it in the top 12% 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.
