The verdict
FONDAZIONE holds 142 US patents across 118 technology areas — rank #2,722 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
FONDAZIONE ISTITUTO ITALIANO DI TECNOLOGIA has been granted 142 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing FONDAZIONE ISTITUTO ITALIANO DI TECNOLOGIA at rank #2,722 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 118 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS). As a Foreign Corporation, FONDAZIONE ISTITUTO ITALIANO DI TECNOLOGIA is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 54.5/100 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 79 grants, compared with 63 in the 2015–2019 window — a +25% 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. FONDAZIONE ISTITUTO ITALIANO DI TECNOLOGIA's 11.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, 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 FONDAZIONE ISTITUTO ITALIANO DI TECNOLOGIA against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
