Portfolio overview

Commonwealth Scientific AND Industrial Research Organisation has been granted 450 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Commonwealth Scientific AND Industrial Research Organisation at rank #974 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 201 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.1 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 Foreign Government, Commonwealth Scientific AND Industrial Research Organisation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Commonwealth sits between Continental Automotive France (453 patents, rank #970) and Hologic, Inc. (449 patents, rank #978) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 62.2/100 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 225 grants, compared with 225 in the 2015–2019 window, a +0% 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. Commonwealth Scientific AND Industrial Research Organisation's 18.1 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 Commonwealth Scientific AND Industrial Research Organisation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Commonwealth's 450 grants land it in the top 2% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Commonwealth ranks #974 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in C12N - see who else leads that technology area. C12N leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
