Portfolio overview

Monell Chemical Senses Center has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2015 and 2022, placing Monell Chemical Senses Center at rank #26,902 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a US Corporation, Monell Chemical Senses Center is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Monell sits between Model N, Inc. (10 patents, rank #26,898) and Motor Coach Industries Limited (10 patents, rank #26,906) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 33.5/100 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 7 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +133% 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. Monell Chemical Senses Center's 11.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 14 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Monell Chemical Senses Center against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
