Portfolio overview
UNIVERSITE CLAUDE BERNAD LYON 1 has been granted 221 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing UNIVERSITE CLAUDE BERNAD LYON 1 at rank #1,832 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 126 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a Foreign Government, UNIVERSITE CLAUDE BERNAD LYON 1 is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 58.6/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 114 grants, compared with 107 in the 2015–2019 window — a +7% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. The Foreign Government 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. UNIVERSITE CLAUDE BERNAD LYON 1's 15.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark UNIVERSITE CLAUDE BERNAD LYON 1 against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
