Portfolio overview

Université DE Lille has been granted 56 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing Université DE Lille at #6,087 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 64 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a Foreign Corporation, Université DE Lille is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Université sits between TEVA Pharmaceuticals International Gmbh (56 patents, rank #6,080) and Vibrant Holdings, Llc (56 patents, rank #6,088) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.4/100 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 40 grants, compared with 9 in the 2015–2019 window, a +344% 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 Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.

Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Université DE Lille's 15.7 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 64 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
