Electricity Market Modelling Patents: Leaders & White Space 2026
Electricity Market Modelling Patents: Who Leads and Where the Claim Space Is Still Open
Concentrated but not locked up. the top 5 assignees hold 43.1% of the 58 records in scope, and the ranked leaders top out at 6 filings each — no single filer dominates the field. Filings were at 0 in 2017, climbed to a peak of 9 in 2019, and after a lull rebounded from 1 in 2021 to 5 in 2024 — a +400% increase over that three-year span. 2025 and 2026 figures are still partial pending publication.

Frequently asked questions
How concentrated is the electricity market modelling patent landscape?
It is moderately concentrated but not dominated by a single filer. The top 5 assignees together hold 43.1% of the 58 records in scope, while the leading assignee alone holds only 6 records. With 39 companies appearing in the ranking, most of the field consists of entities with just one or two filings, so a new entrant is not facing a locked-up space.
When did filing activity in this field pick up?
There was an early peak of 9 filings in 2019, followed by a lull, then a clear rebound: filings rose from 1 in 2021 to 5 in 2024, a +400% increase over that three-year span. Because publication typically lags filing by around 18 months, the 2025 and 2026 figures in any dataset should be read as undercounted rather than as a slowdown.
What technology areas do these patents actually cover?
The dominant classification is G06Q, business and commerce data processing, appearing on 77.6% of the 58 records — this reflects that most claims cover market-clearing algorithms, bidding logic and settlement rules rather than physical grid equipment. Power supply and grid systems (H02J) appear on 24.1% of records, and AI-based computing methods (G06N) on 20.7%, indicating these are secondary but present themes layered onto the market-logic core.
Disclaimer. This analysis is based on Patsnap Eureka data drawn from a limited snapshot of global patent records and is provided for general information and reference only. Patent data carries inherent limitations — recent filings are under-counted because of publication lag, counts may be on a record or family basis, classification and applicant-name data may contain errors or duplicates, and the underlying search query defines the scope shown — so the analysis may be incomplete or inaccurate and may not reflect the full technology landscape.
Nothing here is an exhaustive prior-art, novelty, freedom-to-operate or validity search, nor does it constitute legal, financial or professional advice, and it should not be relied upon as such. Verify independently and review with qualified patent and legal professionals before acting on it.
Method: Filing trend and technology composition. Derived from a Patsnap search on Electricity Market Modelling covering 2015–2026, data cut-off 2026-07-31. Counts reflect published records only and shift as new filings publish. Every share divides by all records in scope. Data: Patsnap Eureka. See the full landscape report.
