Portfolio overview

Velocys Technologies Ltd has been granted 28 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Velocys Technologies Ltd at rank #11,117 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in C10G (CRACKING HYDROCARBON OILS; PRODUCTION OF LIQUID HYDROCARBON MIXTURES, e.g. BY DESTRUCTIVE HYDROGENATION, OLIGOMERISATION, POLYMERISATION ; RECOVERY OF HYDROCARBON OILS FROM OIL-SHALE, OIL-SAND, OR GAS). As a Foreign Corporation, Velocys Technologies Ltd is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Velocys sits between UV Partners, Inc. (28 patents, rank #11,113) and Verkada Inc. (28 patents, rank #11,121) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 56.0/100 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 18 grants, compared with 10 in the 2015–2019 window, a +80% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The Foreign 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. Velocys Technologies Ltd's 19.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 13 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Velocys Technologies Ltd against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
