Portfolio overview

The Alfred E. Mann Foundation For Scientific Research has been granted 84 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing The Alfred E. Mann Foundation For Scientific Research at rank #4,268 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 40 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61N (ELECTROTHERAPY; MAGNETOTHERAPY; RADIATION THERAPY; ULTRASOUND THERAPY). As a US Corporation, The Alfred E. Mann Foundation For Scientific Research is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, The sits between Spatial Digital Systems, Inc. (84 patents, rank #4,264) and Arteris, Inc. (83 patents, rank #4,272) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 56.2/100 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 40 grants, compared with 44 in the 2015–2019 window, a -9% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. The Alfred E. Mann Foundation For Scientific Research's 20.2 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 40 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark The Alfred E. Mann Foundation For Scientific Research against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
