USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 8 granted patents across 10 technology areas, active 2015–2024. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION).
The verdict
Fondazione holds 8 US patents across 10 technology areas, rank #31,636 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Fondazione Irccs Ca'granda-ospedale Maggiore Policilinico has been granted 8 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Fondazione Irccs Ca'granda-ospedale Maggiore Policilinico at rank #31,636 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Fondazione Irccs Ca'granda-ospedale Maggiore Policilinico is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Fondazione sits between Focal Therapeutics Inc. (8 patents, rank #31,632) and Fourth Military Medical University (8 patents, rank #31,640) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 39.3/100 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 3 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a -40% 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. Fondazione Irccs Ca'granda-ospedale Maggiore Policilinico's 12.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Fondazione Irccs Ca'granda-ospedale Maggiore Policilinico against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Fondazione's 8 grants land it in the top 38% 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.
