Portfolio overview
The Western Australian Agriculture Authority has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing The Western Australian Agriculture Authority at rank #43,675 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01M (CATCHING, TRAPPING OR SCARING OF ANIMALS ; APPARATUS FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF NOXIOUS ANIMALS OR NOXIOUS PLANTS). As a Foreign Corporation, The Western Australian Agriculture Authority is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, The sits between The Supergroup Creative Omnimedia, Inc. (6 patents, rank #43,671) and Thevax Genetics Vaccine Co., Ltd. (6 patents, rank #43,679) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 26.1/100 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 2 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a -50% 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. The Western Australian Agriculture Authority's 8.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 5 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark The Western Australian Agriculture Authority against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
