What this shows Université JEAN Monnet Saint-etienne stamps GRANTS-SMALL, UPPER-Q, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-SURGE, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #12,295 of 50,000; Innovation Score 48.0/100 sits in the top 17% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc. (±0 grants).
Université JEAN Monnet Saint-etienne has been granted 25 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Université JEAN Monnet Saint-etienne at #12,295 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 35 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in B29K (INDEXING SCHEME ASSOCIATED WITH SUBCLASSES B29B, B29C OR B29D, RELATING TO MOULDING MATERIALS OR TO MATERIALS FOR ; MOULDS, ; REINFORCEMENTS, FILLERS OR PREFORMED PARTS, e.g. INSERTS). As a Foreign Corporation, Université JEAN Monnet Saint-etienne is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Université sits between Universite DE Picardie Jules Verne (25 patents, rank #12,281) and University Of Bath (25 patents, rank #12,289) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.0/100 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 17 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +467% 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 JEAN Monnet Saint-etienne's 14.1 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 35 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
