Portfolio overview
CARBIOS has been granted 28 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing CARBIOS at rank #10,885 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in C08J (WORKING-UP; GENERAL PROCESSES OF COMPOUNDING; AFTER-TREATMENT NOT COVERED BY SUBCLASSES C08B, C08C, C08F, C08G or C08H). As a Foreign Corporation, CARBIOS is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 43.4/100 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 22 grants, compared with 6 in the 2015–2019 window, a +267% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. CARBIOS's 20.8 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 14 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark CARBIOS against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
