Portfolio overview
Cellecta, Inc. has been granted 8 US utility patents between 2016 and 2023, placing Cellecta, Inc. at rank #31,261 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.9 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 US Corporation, Cellecta, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Cellecta sits between Cellmax Ltd. (8 patents, rank #31,257) and Centurion Medical Products Corporation (8 patents, rank #31,265) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 31.4/100 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 3 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a -40% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Cellecta, Inc.'s 11.9 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Cellecta, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
