USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 9 granted patents across 10 technology areas, active 2015–2017. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS).
The verdict
Novartis holds 9 US patents across 10 technology areas, rank #29,554 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Novartis Tiergesundheit Ag has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2015 and 2017, placing Novartis Tiergesundheit Ag at rank #29,554 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS). As a Foreign Corporation, Novartis Tiergesundheit Ag is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Novartis sits between Norbrook Laboratories Limited (9 patents, rank #29,550) and Nowww.us Pty Ltd. (9 patents, rank #29,558) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 27.3/100 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 9 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. Novartis Tiergesundheit Ag's 13.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Novartis Tiergesundheit Ag against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Novartis's 9 grants land it in the top 77% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
