The verdict
Univercells holds 8 US patents across 4 technology areas, rank #33,702 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Univercells Technologies S.a. has been granted 8 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Univercells Technologies S.a. at rank #33,702 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in C12M (APPARATUS FOR ENZYMOLOGY OR MICROBIOLOGY; APPARATUS FOR CULTURING MICROORGANISMS FOR PRODUCING BIOMASS, FOR GROWING CELLS OR FOR OBTAINING FERMENTATION OR METABOLIC PRODUCTS, i.e. BIOREACTORS OR FERME). As a Foreign Corporation, Univercells Technologies S.a. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Univercells sits between Uncinate Joint, Llc (8 patents, rank #33,698) and Universite DE LA Rochelle (8 patents, rank #33,706) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 44.9/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 8 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Univercells Technologies S.a.'s 17.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 4 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Univercells Technologies S.a. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Univercells's 8 grants land it in the top 25% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
