Portfolio overview

Luxembourg Institute Of Science & Technology (list) has been granted 71 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Luxembourg Institute Of Science & Technology (list) at rank #4,894 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 73 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in C23C (COATING METALLIC MATERIAL; COATING MATERIAL WITH METALLIC MATERIAL; SURFACE TREATMENT OF METALLIC MATERIAL BY DIFFUSION INTO THE SURFACE, BY CHEMICAL CONVERSION OR SUBSTITUTION; COATING BY VACUUM EVAP). As a Foreign Corporation, Luxembourg Institute Of Science & Technology (list) is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Luxembourg sits between Kikkoman Corporation (71 patents, rank #4,890) and Matthews International Corporation (71 patents, rank #4,898) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 60.1/100 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 60 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window, a +445% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Luxembourg Institute Of Science & Technology (list)'s 16.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 73 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Luxembourg Institute Of Science & Technology (list) against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Luxembourg's 71 grants land it in the top 3% 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 - Luxembourg ranks #4,894 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in C23C - see who else leads that technology area. C23C 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.
