Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 5 granted patents across 4 technology areas, active 2017–2024. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS).
The verdict
Catalent holds 5 US patents across 4 technology areas, rank #45,761 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Catalent Ontario Limited has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2017 and 2024, placing Catalent Ontario Limited at rank #45,761 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS). As a Foreign Corporation, Catalent Ontario Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Catalent sits between Cassida Corporation (5 patents, rank #45,757) and Cathvision Aps (5 patents, rank #45,765) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 27.9/100 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 3 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +50% 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. Catalent Ontario Limited's 13.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 4 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Catalent Ontario Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Catalent's 5 grants land it in the top 75% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
Patent counts and the Innovation Score measure patenting activity, not commercial success or the legal strength of any patent. Many patents are filed defensively. Verify the status of an individual patent against official USPTO records.
