USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 14 granted patents across 14 technology areas, active 2020–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES).
The verdict
Ontario holds 14 US patents across 14 technology areas, rank #20,205 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Ontario Institute For Cancer Research (oicr) has been granted 14 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Ontario Institute For Cancer Research (oicr) at rank #20,205 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a Foreign Corporation, Ontario Institute For Cancer Research (oicr) is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 47.4/100 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 2020 through 2025, with 14 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Ontario Institute For Cancer Research (oicr)'s 16.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 14 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Ontario Institute For Cancer Research (oicr) against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Ontario's 14 grants land it in the top 19% 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.
