Portfolio overview
SOM Innovation Biotech, S.a. has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing SOM Innovation Biotech, S.a. at rank #30,081 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 2 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS). As a Foreign Corporation, SOM Innovation Biotech, S.a. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, SOM sits between Solidian Gmbh (9 patents, rank #30,077) and Soudal (9 patents, rank #30,085) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 28.4/100 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 5 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a +25% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. SOM Innovation Biotech, S.a.'s 14.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 2 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark SOM Innovation Biotech, S.a. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
