Portfolio overview

YPF Tecnología S.a. has been granted 30 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing YPF Tecnología S.a. at #10,511 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 37 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in E21B (EARTH OR ROCK DRILLING; OBTAINING OIL, GAS, WATER, SOLUBLE OR MELTABLE MATERIALS OR A SLURRY OF MINERALS FROM WELLS). As a Foreign Corporation, YPF Tecnología S.a. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, YPF sits between Wayfair Llc (30 patents, rank #10,507) and Zerto Ltd. (30 patents, rank #10,515) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.1/100 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 26 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +767% 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 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. YPF Tecnología S.a.'s 9.7 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 37 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
