Portfolio overview

DOW Agrosciences Llc has been granted 704 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing DOW Agrosciences Llc at rank #631 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 76 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.9 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, DOW Agrosciences Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, DOW sits between Allegro Microsystems, Llc (708 patents, rank #627) and Osaka University (702 patents, rank #635) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 58.2/100 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 99 grants, compared with 605 in the 2015–2019 window, a -84% 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. DOW Agrosciences Llc's 16.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 76 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark DOW Agrosciences 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.
