Portfolio overview

CAS Center FOR Excellence IN Molecular Plant Sciences has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing CAS Center FOR Excellence IN Molecular Plant Sciences at rank #34,641 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 6.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in C12N (MICROORGANISMS OR ENZYMES; COMPOSITIONS THEREOF; PROPAGATING, PRESERVING, OR MAINTAINING MICROORGANISMS; MUTATION OR GENETIC ENGINEERING; CULTURE MEDIA). As a Foreign Corporation, CAS Center FOR Excellence IN Molecular Plant Sciences is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, CAS sits between Cardix Therapeutics, Llc (7 patents, rank #34,637) and Catarc New Energy Vehicle Test Center (tianjin) Co., Ltd. (7 patents, rank #34,645) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 30.6/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 7 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. CAS Center FOR Excellence IN Molecular Plant Sciences's 6.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 13 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark CAS Center FOR Excellence IN Molecular Plant Sciences against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
