Portfolio overview

Depuy Mitek, Llc has been granted 104 US utility patents between 2015 and 2020, placing Depuy Mitek, Llc at rank #3,530 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 16 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). As a US Corporation, Depuy Mitek, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Depuy sits between Benq Corporation (104 patents, rank #3,526) and Leica Biosystems Imaging, Inc. (104 patents, rank #3,534) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 38.4/100 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 3 grants, compared with 101 in the 2015–2019 window, a -97% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Depuy Mitek, Llc's 13.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 16 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Depuy Mitek, 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.
