Portfolio overview

Amvac Chemical Corporation has been granted 51 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Amvac Chemical Corporation at rank #6,501 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 31 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01C (PLANTING; SOWING; FERTILISING). As a US Corporation, Amvac Chemical Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Amvac sits between Uniwersytet Jagiellonski (52 patents, rank #6,497) and Bauer Maschinen Gmbh (51 patents, rank #6,505) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.4/100 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 40 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window, a +264% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The US 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. Amvac Chemical Corporation's 13.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 31 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Amvac Chemical Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
