Portfolio overview

Aurora Cannabis Enterprises Inc. has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2020 and 2024, placing Aurora Cannabis Enterprises Inc. at rank #28,179 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 6.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in B04C (APPARATUS USING FREE VORTEX FLOW, e.g. CYCLONES). As a Foreign Corporation, Aurora Cannabis Enterprises Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Aurora sits between Audemars Piguet (marketing) Sa (9 patents, rank #28,175) and Autograph, Inc. (9 patents, rank #28,183) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 25.6/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2024, with 9 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Aurora Cannabis Enterprises Inc.'s 6.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Aurora Cannabis Enterprises Inc. 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.
