The verdict
Danmarks holds 183 US patents across 125 technology areas — rank #2,153 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Danmarks Tekniske Universitet has been granted 183 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Danmarks Tekniske Universitet at rank #2,153 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 125 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.0 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 Corporation, Danmarks Tekniske Universitet is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 58.9/100 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 91 grants, compared with 92 in the 2015–2019 window — a -1% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Danmarks Tekniske Universitet's 17.0 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 Danmarks Tekniske Universitet against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
