USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 76 granted patents across 96 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: C08L (COMPOSITIONS OF MACROMOLECULAR COMPOUNDS).
The verdict
Institut holds 76 US patents across 96 technology areas, rank #4,627 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Institut Polytechnique DE Bordeaux has been granted 76 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Institut Polytechnique DE Bordeaux at rank #4,627 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 96 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in C08L (COMPOSITIONS OF MACROMOLECULAR COMPOUNDS). As a Foreign Corporation, Institut Polytechnique DE Bordeaux is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Institut sits between Hexcel Corporation (76 patents, rank #4,623) and Livsmed Inc. (76 patents, rank #4,631) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.7/100 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 32 in the 2015–2019 window, a +38% 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 Polytechnique DE Bordeaux's 13.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 96 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Institut Polytechnique DE Bordeaux against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Institut's 76 grants land it in the top 11% 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.
