Portfolio overview
Futura Medical Developments Limited has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Futura Medical Developments Limited at rank #40,245 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a Foreign Corporation, Futura Medical Developments Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Futura sits between Fundação Universidade DE Brasília (6 patents, rank #40,241) and FYLA Laser, S. L. (6 patents, rank #40,249) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 30.3/100 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 2 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a -50% 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. Futura Medical Developments Limited's 15.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 5 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Futura Medical Developments Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
