The verdict
Institut holds 617 US patents across 89 technology areas, rank #738 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Institut National De La Sante Et De La Recherche Medicale (inserm) has been granted 617 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Institut National De La Sante Et De La Recherche Medicale (inserm) at rank #738 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 89 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a Foreign Corporation, Institut National De La Sante Et De La Recherche Medicale (inserm) is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Institut sits between Baxter International Inc. (620 patents, rank #734) and Uchicago Argonne, Llc (616 patents, rank #742) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 61.8/100 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 343 grants, compared with 274 in the 2015–2019 window, a +25% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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 Sante Et De La Recherche Medicale (inserm)'s 13.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 89 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Institut National De La Sante Et De La Recherche Medicale (inserm) against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Institut's 617 grants land it in the top 3% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
