Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc. has been granted 25 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc. at #12,283 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS). As a US Corporation, Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Ultragenyx sits between University OF Durham (25 patents, rank #12,282) and University Of Waterloo (25 patents, rank #12,290) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.9/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 12 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window, a +9% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc.'s 17.6 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 10 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
