Portfolio overview
Seattle Children's Research Institute has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Seattle Children's Research Institute at rank #29,990 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 30.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in C12N (MICROORGANISMS OR ENZYMES; COMPOSITIONS THEREOF; PROPAGATING, PRESERVING, OR MAINTAINING MICROORGANISMS; MUTATION OR GENETIC ENGINEERING; CULTURE MEDIA). As a US Corporation, Seattle Children's Research Institute is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Seattle sits between Scopio LABS Ltd. (9 patents, rank #29,986) and Segetis, Inc. (9 patents, rank #29,994) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 34.0/100 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 2020 through 2025, with 9 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. Seattle Children's Research Institute's 30.7 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while specialization in 4 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Seattle Children's Research Institute against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Seattle's 9 grants land it in the top 54% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
- Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Seattle ranks #29,990 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
- Most of this portfolio concentrates in C12N - see who else leads that technology area. C12N leaders
- 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.
