The verdict
Fpinnovations holds 42 US patents across 60 technology areas, rank #7,695 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Fpinnovations has been granted 42 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Fpinnovations at rank #7,695 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 60 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in D21C (PRODUCTION OF CELLULOSE BY REMOVING NON-CELLULOSE SUBSTANCES FROM CELLULOSE-CONTAINING MATERIALS; REGENERATION OF PULPING LIQUORS; APPARATUS THEREFOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Fpinnovations is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Fpinnovations sits between Energy And Environmental Research Center Foundation (42 patents, rank #7,691) and GEKA Gmbh (42 patents, rank #7,699) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 59.7/100 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 12 grants, compared with 30 in the 2015–2019 window, a -60% 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. Fpinnovations's 13.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 60 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Fpinnovations against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Fpinnovations's 42 grants land it in the top 4% 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.
