Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 8 granted patents across 11 technology areas, active 2018–2020. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: B32B (LAYERED PRODUCTS, i.e. PRODUCTS BUILT-UP OF STRATA OF FLAT OR NON-FLAT, e.g. CELLULAR OR HONEYCOMB, FORM).
The verdict
Celltech holds 8 US patents across 11 technology areas, rank #31,259 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Celltech Metals, Inc. has been granted 8 US utility patents between 2018 and 2020, placing Celltech Metals, Inc. at rank #31,259 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 37.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in B32B (LAYERED PRODUCTS, i.e. PRODUCTS BUILT-UP OF STRATA OF FLAT OR NON-FLAT, e.g. CELLULAR OR HONEYCOMB, FORM). As a US Corporation, Celltech Metals, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Celltech sits between Catalyst Media Four, Inc. (8 patents, rank #31,255) and Center For Technology Licensing Cornell University (8 patents, rank #31,263) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 34.3/100 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 1 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a -86% 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. Celltech Metals, Inc.'s 37.9 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Celltech Metals, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Celltech's 8 grants land it in the top 53% 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.
