Portfolio overview
Burcon Nutrascience (mb) Corp. has been granted 23 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Burcon Nutrascience (mb) Corp. at rank #12,852 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 30.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A23J (PROTEIN COMPOSITIONS FOR FOODSTUFFS; WORKING-UP PROTEINS FOR FOODSTUFFS; PHOSPHATIDE COMPOSITIONS FOR FOODSTUFFS). As a Foreign Corporation, Burcon Nutrascience (mb) Corp. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Burcon sits between Board Of Trustees Of The University Of Alabama (23 patents, rank #12,848) and Centre Hospitalier Universitaire DE Bordeaux (23 patents, rank #12,856) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 46.0/100 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 9 grants, compared with 14 in the 2015–2019 window, a -36% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Burcon Nutrascience (mb) Corp.'s 30.2 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Burcon Nutrascience (mb) Corp. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
