Portfolio overview
LABORATORIOS DEL DR. ESTEVE S.A. has been granted 47 US utility patents between 2015 and 2022, placing LABORATORIOS DEL DR. ESTEVE S.A. at rank #7,032 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS). As a Foreign Corporation, LABORATORIOS DEL DR. ESTEVE S.A. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 34.5/100 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 2 grants, compared with 45 in the 2015–2019 window — a -96% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. LABORATORIOS DEL DR. ESTEVE S.A.'s 15.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark LABORATORIOS DEL DR. ESTEVE S.A. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
