Portfolio overview

Nutrition & Biosciences USA 4, Inc. has been granted 68 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing Nutrition & Biosciences USA 4, Inc. at rank #5,097 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 48 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in C08B (POLYSACCHARIDES; DERIVATIVES THEREOF). As a US Corporation, Nutrition & Biosciences USA 4, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Nutrition sits between Medtronic Holding Company SARL (68 patents, rank #5,093) and Ostendo Technologies, Inc. (68 patents, rank #5,101) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 67.0/100 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. Historical data spans 2021 through 2025, with 68 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Nutrition & Biosciences USA 4, Inc.'s 20.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 48 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Nutrition & Biosciences USA 4, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
