The verdict
Institut holds 79 US patents across 84 technology areas — rank #4,474 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
INSTITUT POLYTECHNIQUE DE GRENOBLE has been granted 79 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing INSTITUT POLYTECHNIQUE DE GRENOBLE at rank #4,474 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 84 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02E (REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS [GHG] EMISSIONS, RELATED TO ENERGY GENERATION, TRANSMISSION OR DISTRIBUTION). As a Foreign Corporation, INSTITUT POLYTECHNIQUE DE GRENOBLE is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 55.5/100 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 47 grants, compared with 32 in the 2015–2019 window — a +47% 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 GRENOBLE's 14.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 84 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark INSTITUT POLYTECHNIQUE DE GRENOBLE against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Institut's 79 grants land it in the top 7% 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.
