Portfolio overview
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Inc. has been granted 131 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Inc. at rank #2,919 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 22 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a US Corporation, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 46.8/100 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 69 grants, compared with 62 in the 2015–2019 window — a +11% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Inc.'s 15.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 22 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
