The verdict
Ut-battelle holds 803 US patents across 250 technology areas, rank #561 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Ut-battelle, Llc has been granted 803 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Ut-battelle, Llc at rank #561 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 250 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02E (REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS [GHG] EMISSIONS, RELATED TO ENERGY GENERATION, TRANSMISSION OR DISTRIBUTION). As a US Corporation, Ut-battelle, Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Ut-battelle sits between Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations Llc (803 patents, rank #557) and Resmed Pty Ltd (800 patents, rank #565) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 67.4/100 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 438 grants, compared with 365 in the 2015–2019 window, a +20% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Ut-battelle, Llc's 17.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Ut-battelle, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Ut-battelle's 803 grants land it in the top 1% 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.
