Portfolio overview
CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE has been granted 3,025 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE at rank #124 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 360 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a Foreign Government, CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 67.1/100 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 1,523 grants, compared with 1,502 in the 2015–2019 window — a +1% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. The Foreign Government 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 NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE's 14.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
