Portfolio overview

Greenonyx Ltd has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2018 and 2023, placing Greenonyx Ltd at rank #26,415 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 23.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in C12M (APPARATUS FOR ENZYMOLOGY OR MICROBIOLOGY; APPARATUS FOR CULTURING MICROORGANISMS FOR PRODUCING BIOMASS, FOR GROWING CELLS OR FOR OBTAINING FERMENTATION OR METABOLIC PRODUCTS, i.e. BIOREACTORS OR FERME). As a Foreign Corporation, Greenonyx Ltd is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Greenonyx sits between Grand General Accessories Manufacturing (10 patents, rank #26,411) and Groundspeak, Inc. (10 patents, rank #26,419) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 39.3/100 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 6 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a +50% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Greenonyx Ltd's 23.7 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 13 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Greenonyx Ltd 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.
