Portfolio overview

Ticona Llc has been granted 215 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Ticona Llc at rank #1,868 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 78 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 24.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in C08L (COMPOSITIONS OF MACROMOLECULAR COMPOUNDS). As a US Corporation, Ticona Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Ticona sits between Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd. (215 patents, rank #1,864) and Darfon Electronics Corp. (214 patents, rank #1,872) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 69.2/100 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 88 grants, compared with 127 in the 2015–2019 window, a -31% 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. Ticona Llc's 24.5 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 78 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Ticona Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
