Portfolio overview

Syngenta Crop Protection Ag has been granted 465 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Syngenta Crop Protection Ag at rank #951 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 33 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01H (NEW PLANTS OR ; NON-TRANSGENIC; PROCESSES FOR OBTAINING THEM; PLANT REPRODUCTION BY TISSUE CULTURE TECHNIQUES). As a Foreign Corporation, Syngenta Crop Protection Ag is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Syngenta sits between Ibiden Co., Ltd. (467 patents, rank #947) and THE Trustees OF Princeton University (463 patents, rank #955) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 56.8/100 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 409 grants, compared with 56 in the 2015–2019 window, a +630% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Syngenta Crop Protection Ag's 10.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 33 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Syngenta Crop Protection Ag against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
