Portfolio overview

Corteva Agriscience Llc has been granted 99 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing Corteva Agriscience Llc at rank #3,677 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 35 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01N (PRESERVATION OF BODIES OF HUMANS OR ANIMALS OR PLANTS OR PARTS THEREOF ; BIOCIDES, e.g. AS DISINFECTANTS, AS PESTICIDES OR AS HERBICIDES ; PEST REPELLANTS OR ATTRACTANTS; PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS). As a US Corporation, Corteva Agriscience Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Corteva sits between Bolton Medical, Inc. (99 patents, rank #3,673) and EXEL Industries (99 patents, rank #3,681) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 65.6/100 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. Historical data spans 2021 through 2025, with 99 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Corteva Agriscience Llc's 14.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 35 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Corteva Agriscience Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
