What this shows Boyce Thompson Institute FOR Plant Research, Inc. stamps GRANTS-SMALL, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-USCORP, VEL-DOWN, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #13,333 of 50,000; Innovation Score 42.7/100 sits in the top 30% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Babybjörn AB (±0 grants).
Boyce Thompson Institute FOR Plant Research, Inc. has been granted 22 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Boyce Thompson Institute FOR Plant Research, Inc. at #13,333 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01N (PRESERVATION OF BODIES OF HUMANS OR ANIMALS OR PLANTS OR PARTS THEREOF ; BIOCIDES, e.g. AS DISINFECTANTS, AS PESTICIDES OR AS HERBICIDES ; PEST REPELLANTS OR ATTRACTANTS; PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS). As a US Corporation, Boyce Thompson Institute FOR Plant Research, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Boyce sits between Biodlogics, Llc (22 patents, rank #13,319) and Basilea Pharmaceutica Ag (22 patents, rank #13,327) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 42.7/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 9 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window, a -18% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Boyce Thompson Institute FOR Plant Research, Inc.'s 18.6 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 13 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
