Portfolio overview
Modular Genetics, Inc. has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2016 and 2024, placing Modular Genetics, Inc. at rank #29,490 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 7 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in C12N (MICROORGANISMS OR ENZYMES; COMPOSITIONS THEREOF; PROPAGATING, PRESERVING, OR MAINTAINING MICROORGANISMS; MUTATION OR GENETIC ENGINEERING; CULTURE MEDIA). As a US Corporation, Modular Genetics, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Modular sits between Mobility Designed, Inc. (9 patents, rank #29,486) and Molmed Spa (9 patents, rank #29,494) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 40.0/100 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 6 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +100% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Modular Genetics, Inc.'s 15.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 7 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Modular Genetics, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
