Portfolio overview

The Wistar Institute Of Anatomy And Biology has been granted 83 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing The Wistar Institute Of Anatomy And Biology at rank #4,308 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 19 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a US Corporation, The Wistar Institute Of Anatomy And Biology is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, The sits between Perceive Corporation (83 patents, rank #4,304) and Vonage Business Inc. (83 patents, rank #4,312) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 45.5/100 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 53 grants, compared with 30 in the 2015–2019 window, a +77% 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 Wistar Institute Of Anatomy And Biology's 13.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 19 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark The Wistar Institute Of Anatomy And Biology against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
