What this shows Union Carbide Chemicals & Plastics Technology Llc stamps GRANTS-SMALL, UPPER-Q, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-THIN, CLAIMS-PAR, TYPE-USCORP, VEL-DROP, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #8,951 of 50,000; Innovation Score 36.6/100 sits in the top 46% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Umbra Technologies Ltd. (±0 grants).
Union Carbide Chemicals & Plastics Technology Llc has been granted 36 US utility patents between 2015 and 2020, placing Union Carbide Chemicals & Plastics Technology Llc at #8,951 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 24 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01B (CABLES; CONDUCTORS; INSULATORS; SELECTION OF MATERIALS FOR THEIR CONDUCTIVE, INSULATING OR DIELECTRIC PROPERTIES). As a US Corporation, Union Carbide Chemicals & Plastics Technology Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Union sits between U.s. Nutraceuticals, Llc (36 patents, rank #8,949) and Valneva Austria Gmbh (36 patents, rank #8,957) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 36.6/100 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. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 1 grants, compared with 35 in the 2015–2019 window, a -97% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. 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 US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Union Carbide Chemicals & Plastics Technology Llc's 11.3 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 24 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
