The verdict
Fundació holds 7 US patents across 5 technology areas, rank #35,398 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Fundació Privada Institutció Catalana De Recerca I Estudis Avançats (icrea) has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Fundació Privada Institutció Catalana De Recerca I Estudis Avançats (icrea) at rank #35,398 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS). As a Foreign Corporation, Fundació Privada Institutció Catalana De Recerca I Estudis Avançats (icrea) is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Fundació sits between Fujian Yibao Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. (7 patents, rank #35,394) and Future Energy Llc (7 patents, rank #35,402) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 23.2/100 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 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a -25% 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. Fundació Privada Institutció Catalana De Recerca I Estudis Avançats (icrea)'s 10.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 5 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Fundació Privada Institutció Catalana De Recerca I Estudis Avançats (icrea) against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Fundació's 7 grants land it in the top 88% 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.
