Portfolio overview

Institut National DE LA Recherche Agronomqiue has been granted 92 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Institut National DE LA Recherche Agronomqiue at rank #3,922 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 60 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in C12N (MICROORGANISMS OR ENZYMES; COMPOSITIONS THEREOF; PROPAGATING, PRESERVING, OR MAINTAINING MICROORGANISMS; MUTATION OR GENETIC ENGINEERING; CULTURE MEDIA). As a Foreign Corporation, Institut National DE LA Recherche Agronomqiue is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Institut sits between Hamm Ag (92 patents, rank #3,918) and LAT Enterprises, Inc. (92 patents, rank #3,926) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.2/100 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 38 grants, compared with 54 in the 2015–2019 window, a -30% 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. Institut National DE LA Recherche Agronomqiue's 13.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 60 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Institut National DE LA Recherche Agronomqiue against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
