Portfolio overview

Union Carbide Corporation has been granted 19 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Union Carbide Corporation at #15,734 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in C11D (DETERGENT COMPOSITIONS; USE OF SINGLE SUBSTANCES AS DETERGENTS; SOAP OR SOAP-MAKING; RESIN SOAPS; RECOVERY OF GLYCEROL). As a US Corporation, Union Carbide Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Union sits between ULC Robotics, Inc. (19 patents, rank #15,722) and Ubiquisys Limited (19 patents, rank #15,730) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 34.2/100 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 2020 through 2025, with 19 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 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 Corporation's 9.0 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 14 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
