Overall rank by patents
#41,569
Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record — 6 granted patents across 3 technology areas, active 2017–2019. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES).
MESDAN S.P.A. has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2017 and 2019, placing MESDAN S.P.A. at rank #41,569 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 3 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES). As a Foreign Corporation, MESDAN S.P.A. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 21.3/100 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 0 grants, compared with 6 in the 2015–2019 window — a -100% 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. MESDAN S.P.A.'s 14.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 3 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark MESDAN S.P.A. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
