What this shows HZNP Limited stamps GRANTS-MICRO, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-NARROW, INNOV-THIN, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-DROP, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #19,883 of 50,000; Innovation Score 26.1/100 sits in the top 81% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Hangzhou MPS Semiconductor Technology, Ltd. (Β±0 grants).
HZNP Limited has been granted 14 US utility patents between 2015 and 2018, placing HZNP Limited at #19,883 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS). As a Foreign Corporation, HZNP Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, HZNP sits between Horiba Jobin YVON SAS (14 patents, rank #19,852) and Hasso-plattner Institut Fuer Softwaresystemtechnik Gmbh (14 patents, rank #19,860) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 26.1/100 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 0 grants, compared with 14 in the 2015β2019 window, a -100% 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 companyβs 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. HZNP Limited's 16.1 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 4 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
