Catalent U.k. Swindon Zydis Limited has been granted 18 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing Catalent U.k. Swindon Zydis Limited at rank #15,917 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a Foreign Corporation, Catalent U.k. Swindon Zydis Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Catalent sits between Canaan Creative Co., Ltd. (18 patents, rank #15,913) and Changzhou Jutal Electronic Co., Ltd. (18 patents, rank #15,921) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 38.0/100 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. Historical data spans 2021 through 2025, with 18 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. Catalent U.k. Swindon Zydis Limited's 19.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Catalent U.k. Swindon Zydis Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
