Where does CSIR rank among US patent assignees?

According to USPTO PatentsView (2015–2025 granted utility patents), CSIR ranks #6,638 of 49,997 assignees by granted-patent volume, the same sort as the companies listing and top-holders ranking. See /methodology/#corpus-placement.

How many patents does CSIR hold?

CSIR holds 50 US utility patents granted between 2015 and 2025, spanning 60 technology areas.

What is CSIR's Innovation Score?

CSIR has an Innovation Score of 52.8 out of 100 (top 10% of the corpus). This composite metric weighs portfolio volume (40%), grant velocity (20%), technology breadth (25%), and claim depth (15%).

Is CSIR's patent grant rate increasing or decreasing?

CSIR's recent grant velocity is -60% compared to the prior five-year period (grant years, not application filing dates). Grant activity has slowed relative to earlier years.

What does claim depth mean for CSIR's patents?

CSIR's patents average 13.7 claims each. This is an aggregate descriptive count from the grant record; it does not establish claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk.

How is the CSIR patent data sourced?

All patent data comes from USPTO PatentsView, a public research dataset maintained by the United States Patent and Trademark Office covering US granted utility patents from 2015 to 2025.

What this shows CSIR's Innovation Score is 52.8/100 (top 10% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for CSIR?

Each dot is one of CSIR’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). CSIR’s own 13.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

How CSIR's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, CSIR received 14 grants versus 35 in 2015–2019 (-60% equal-window velocity, below median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2015 at 12 grants and bottomed in 2023 at 1. Lead class C12N accounts for 18% of the portfolio across 60 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Chdi Foundation, Inc. (#6,630) and Crucible Intellectual Property, LLC (#6,638).

CSIR's three-year grant acceleration

CSIR shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
