Portfolio overview
CENTRE HOSPITALIER ET UNIVERSITAIRE DE BREST has been granted 110 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing CENTRE HOSPITALIER ET UNIVERSITAIRE DE BREST at rank #3,367 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 43 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a Foreign Corporation, CENTRE HOSPITALIER ET UNIVERSITAIRE DE BREST is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 53.2/100 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 65 grants, compared with 45 in the 2015–2019 window — a +44% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. CENTRE HOSPITALIER ET UNIVERSITAIRE DE BREST's 11.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 43 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark CENTRE HOSPITALIER ET UNIVERSITAIRE DE BREST against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
