Portfolio overview

Nalge Nunc International Corporation has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Nalge Nunc International Corporation at rank #29,569 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 9 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in B01L (CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL LABORATORY APPARATUS FOR GENERAL USE). As a US Corporation, Nalge Nunc International Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Nalge sits between NUTS Holdings, Llc (9 patents, rank #29,565) and Nanodx, Inc. (9 patents, rank #29,573) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 26.2/100 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 5 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a +25% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Nalge Nunc International Corporation's 10.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 9 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Nalge Nunc International Corporation 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.
