The verdict
Biomet holds 65 US patents across 27 technology areas, rank #5,265 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Biomet Biologics, Llc has been granted 65 US utility patents between 2015 and 2021, placing Biomet Biologics, Llc at rank #5,265 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 27 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61M (DEVICES FOR INTRODUCING MEDIA INTO, OR ONTO, THE BODY ; DEVICES FOR TRANSDUCING BODY MEDIA OR FOR TAKING MEDIA FROM THE BODY ; DEVICES FOR PRODUCING OR ENDING SLEEP OR STUPOR). As a US Corporation, Biomet Biologics, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Biomet sits between AZ Electronic Materials (luxembourg) S.a.r.l. (65 patents, rank #5,261) and Croda International Plc (65 patents, rank #5,269) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 44.2/100 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 4 grants, compared with 61 in the 2015–2019 window, a -93% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Biomet Biologics, Llc's 19.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 27 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Biomet Biologics, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Biomet's 65 grants land it in the top 26% 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.
