Portfolio overview

Université De Nice Sophia-antipolis has been granted 33 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing Université De Nice Sophia-antipolis at #9,658 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 39 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS). As a Foreign Corporation, Université De Nice Sophia-antipolis is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Université sits between Trophius Pty Ltd. (33 patents, rank #9,653) and VERO Biotech Inc. (33 patents, rank #9,661) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 42.9/100 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 11 grants, compared with 22 in the 2015–2019 window, a -50% 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 Nice Sophia-antipolis's 12.3 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 39 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
