Portfolio overview

Director General, Defence Research & Development Organisation (drdo) has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2015 and 2022, placing Director General, Defence Research & Development Organisation (drdo) at rank #34,959 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 19 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS). As a Foreign Government, Director General, Defence Research & Development Organisation (drdo) is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Director sits between Designing Solutions, Llc (7 patents, rank #34,955) and DMD Systems, Llc (7 patents, rank #34,963) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 35.8/100 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 2 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a -60% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Director General, Defence Research & Development Organisation (drdo)'s 10.9 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 19 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Director General, Defence Research & Development Organisation (drdo) against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
