Portfolio overview

Carefusion 303, Inc. has been granted 711 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Carefusion 303, Inc. at rank #621 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 79 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.1 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, Carefusion 303, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Carefusion sits between T-mobile Innovations Llc (715 patents, rank #617) and CJ Cheiljedang Corporation (709 patents, rank #625) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 68.7/100 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 481 grants, compared with 230 in the 2015–2019 window, a +109% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Carefusion 303, Inc.'s 17.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 79 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Carefusion 303, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
