Portfolio overview

Total SE has been granted 38 US utility patents between 2021 and 2024, placing Total SE at #8,497 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 33 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01V (GEOPHYSICS; GRAVITATIONAL MEASUREMENTS; DETECTING MASSES OR OBJECTS; TAGS). As a Foreign Corporation, Total SE is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Total sits between Teijin Aramid B.v. (38 patents, rank #8,486) and TSMC Solid State Lighting Ltd. (38 patents, rank #8,494) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 62.2/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.

Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Historical data spans 2021 through 2024, with 38 total grants over that period. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.

Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Total SE's 15.4 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 33 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
