Portfolio overview

INSTITUT NATIONAL DES SCIENCES APPLIQUÉES DE LYON has been granted 88 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing INSTITUT NATIONAL DES SCIENCES APPLIQUÉES DE LYON at rank #4,085 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 101 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES). As a Foreign Corporation, INSTITUT NATIONAL DES SCIENCES APPLIQUÉES DE LYON is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 53.7/100 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 44 grants, compared with 44 in the 2015–2019 window — a +0% 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 DES SCIENCES APPLIQUÉES DE LYON's 14.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark INSTITUT NATIONAL DES SCIENCES APPLIQUÉES DE LYON against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Institut's 88 grants land it in the top 9% by Innovation Score — but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance — Institut ranks #4,085 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in G01N — see who else leads that technology area. G01N leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
