Portfolio overview

The Mosaic Company has been granted 35 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing The Mosaic Company at rank #9,141 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 21 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in C05G (MIXTURES OF FERTILISERS COVERED INDIVIDUALLY BY DIFFERENT SUBCLASSES OF CLASS C05; MIXTURES OF ONE OR MORE FERTILISERS WITH MATERIALS NOT HAVING A SPECIFIC FERTILISING ACTIVITY, e.g. PESTICIDES, SOIL-). As a US Corporation, The Mosaic Company is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, The sits between Tarng Yu Enterprise Co., Ltd. (35 patents, rank #9,137) and The U.s.a., As Represented By The Secretary, Department Of Health And Human Services (35 patents, rank #9,145) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 45.2/100 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 24 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window, a +118% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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 Mosaic Company's 17.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 21 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark The Mosaic Company against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
