Portfolio overview
Orasure Technologies, Inc. has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Orasure Technologies, Inc. at rank #24,920 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 6 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES). As a US Corporation, Orasure Technologies, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Orasure sits between OMNI Cubed, Inc. (11 patents, rank #24,916) and Osong Medical Innovation Foundation (11 patents, rank #24,924) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 42.4/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 10 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +900% 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. Orasure Technologies, Inc.'s 8.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 6 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Orasure Technologies, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
