Portfolio overview

ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE FEDERALE DE LAUSANNE (EPFL) has been granted 446 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE FEDERALE DE LAUSANNE (EPFL) at rank #986 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 203 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). As a Foreign Corporation, ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE FEDERALE DE LAUSANNE (EPFL) is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 60.9/100 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 229 grants, compared with 217 in the 2015–2019 window — a +6% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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 POLYTECHNIQUE FEDERALE DE LAUSANNE (EPFL)'s 16.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE FEDERALE DE LAUSANNE (EPFL) against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
