Portfolio overview

THE Commonwealth OF Australia has been granted 15 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing THE Commonwealth OF Australia at rank #19,225 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 44 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES). As a Foreign Government, THE Commonwealth OF Australia is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 52.5/100 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 8 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a +14% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. The Foreign Government 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 Commonwealth OF Australia's 21.3 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 44 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark THE Commonwealth OF Australia against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

THE's 15 grants land it in the top 10% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - THE ranks #19,225 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in G01N - see who else leads that technology area. G01N leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
