The verdict
AMARIN holds 102 US patents across 5 technology areas — rank #3,586 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
AMARIN PHARMACEUTICALS IRELAND LIMITED has been granted 102 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing AMARIN PHARMACEUTICALS IRELAND LIMITED at rank #3,586 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a Foreign Corporation, AMARIN PHARMACEUTICALS IRELAND LIMITED is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 34.2/100 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 61 grants, compared with 41 in the 2015–2019 window — a +49% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. AMARIN PHARMACEUTICALS IRELAND LIMITED's 14.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 5 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark AMARIN PHARMACEUTICALS IRELAND LIMITED against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Amarin's 102 grants land it in the top 53% 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.
