Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 152 granted patents across 15 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS).
The verdict
Intra-cellular holds 152 US patents across 15 technology areas, rank #2,558 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Intra-cellular Therapies, Inc. has been granted 152 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Intra-cellular Therapies, Inc. at rank #2,558 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS). As a US Corporation, Intra-cellular Therapies, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Intra-cellular sits between Bombardier Transportation Gmbh (152 patents, rank #2,554) and Merlin Technology Inc. (152 patents, rank #2,562) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.4/100 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 87 grants, compared with 65 in the 2015–2019 window, a +34% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. The US 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. Intra-cellular Therapies, Inc.'s 19.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 15 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Intra-cellular Therapies, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Intra-cellular's 152 grants land it in the top 17% 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.
