Portfolio overview

Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. has been granted 1,065 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. at rank #425 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 64 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS). As a US Corporation, Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 65.3/100 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 559 grants, compared with 506 in the 2015–2019 window — a +10% 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. Hoffmann-La Roche Inc.'s 16.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 64 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
