What this shows Fundació Institut DE Ciencies Fotòniques stamps GRANTS-SMALL, UPPER-Q, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-WIDE, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-FLAT, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #6,652 of 50,000; Innovation Score 57.8/100 sits in the top 5% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is F5, Inc. (±0 grants).
Fundació Institut DE Ciencies Fotòniques has been granted 50 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Fundació Institut DE Ciencies Fotòniques at #6,652 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 51 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in H10F (INORGANIC SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES SENSITIVE TO INFRARED RADIATION, LIGHT, ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION OF SHORTER WAVELENGTH OR CORPUSCULAR RADIATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Fundació Institut DE Ciencies Fotòniques is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Fundació sits between F5, Inc. (50 patents, rank #6,645) and GEMA Switzerland Gmbh (50 patents, rank #6,653) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.8/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 23 grants, compared with 25 in the 2015–2019 window, a -8% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Fundació Institut DE Ciencies Fotòniques's 16.6 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 51 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
