The verdict
Agence holds 9 US patents across 13 technology areas, rank #27,989 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Agence Nationale POUR LA Gestion DES Déchets Radioactifs has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Agence Nationale POUR LA Gestion DES Déchets Radioactifs at rank #27,989 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in B61B (RAILWAY SYSTEMS; EQUIPMENT THEREFOR NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Agence Nationale POUR LA Gestion DES Déchets Radioactifs is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Agence sits between Afimilk Agricultural Cooperative Ltd. (9 patents, rank #27,985) and Agnitio SL (9 patents, rank #27,993) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 30.2/100 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 2 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a -71% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Agence Nationale POUR LA Gestion DES Déchets Radioactifs's 15.8 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 Agence Nationale POUR LA Gestion DES Déchets Radioactifs against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Agence's 9 grants land it in the top 67% 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.
