Portfolio overview

SUN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED has been granted 126 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing SUN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED at rank #3,025 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 23 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a Foreign Corporation, SUN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 49.1/100 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 62 grants, compared with 64 in the 2015–2019 window — a -3% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. SUN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED's 13.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 23 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark SUN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
