The verdict
Ecole holds 9 US patents across 22 technology areas, rank #28,623 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Ecole Nationale Superieure D'arts ET Metiers (ensam) has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Ecole Nationale Superieure D'arts ET Metiers (ensam) at rank #28,623 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 22 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in B33Y (ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING, i.e. MANUFACTURING OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL [3-D] OBJECTS BY ADDITIVE DEPOSITION, ADDITIVE AGGLOMERATION OR ADDITIVE LAYERING, e.g. BY 3-D PRINTING, STEREOLITHOGRAPHY OR SELECTIVE ). As a Foreign Corporation, Ecole Nationale Superieure D'arts ET Metiers (ensam) is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Ecole sits between ECC TEC MSJ Incorporated (9 patents, rank #28,619) and Eggtronic Engineering S.p.a. (9 patents, rank #28,627) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 42.1/100 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 7 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +250% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Ecole Nationale Superieure D'arts ET Metiers (ensam)'s 12.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 22 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Ecole Nationale Superieure D'arts ET Metiers (ensam) against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Ecole's 9 grants land it in the top 31% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
