of 50,000 tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 53 granted patents across 45 technology areas, recorded in grant years 2020–2025. Grant-trend analysis is cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search; it does not measure application filings, current R&D, or legal strength. Primary class: C12N (MICROORGANISMS OR ENZYMES; COMPOSITIONS THEREOF; PROPAGATING, PRESERVING, OR MAINTAINING MICROORGANISMS; MUTATION OR GENETIC ENGINEERING; CULTURE MEDIA).
The verdict
According to USPTO PatentsView, Institut ranks #6,346 of 50,000 tracked US assignees by granted-patent volume, with 53 patents across 45 technology areas.
Institut National DE Recherche POUR L'agriculture, L'alimentation L'environnement has been granted 53 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Institut National DE Recherche POUR L'agriculture, L'alimentation L'environnement at #6,346 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 45 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.8 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 Recherche POUR L'agriculture, L'alimentation L'environnement is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Institut sits between Hyliion Inc. (53 patents, rank #6,339) and Itron Global SARL (53 patents, rank #6,347) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.0/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 53 total grants over that period. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s 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. Institut National DE Recherche POUR L'agriculture, L'alimentation L'environnement's 11.8 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 45 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Institut's 53 grants land it in the top 6% 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.
