Portfolio overview

Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center has been granted 112 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center at rank #3,324 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 26 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a US Corporation, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Fred sits between Chroma ATE Inc. (112 patents, rank #3,320) and Kyowa Hakko Kirin Co., Ltd. (112 patents, rank #3,328) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 46.6/100 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 57 grants, compared with 55 in the 2015–2019 window, a +4% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. The US 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. Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center's 18.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 26 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
