Portfolio overview

Dupont Nutrition Biosciences APS has been granted 102 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Dupont Nutrition Biosciences APS at rank #3,593 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 50 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.3 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, Dupont Nutrition Biosciences APS is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Dupont sits between Bostik Sa (102 patents, rank #3,589) and Inficon Ag (102 patents, rank #3,597) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 56.1/100 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 33 grants, compared with 69 in the 2015–2019 window, a -52% 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. Dupont Nutrition Biosciences APS's 16.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 50 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Dupont Nutrition Biosciences APS 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.
