USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 8 granted patents across 21 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES).
The verdict
Universite holds 8 US patents across 21 technology areas, rank #33,706 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Universite DE LA Rochelle has been granted 8 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Universite DE LA Rochelle at rank #33,706 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 21 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 Corporation, Universite DE LA Rochelle is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Universite sits between Univercells Technologies S.a. (8 patents, rank #33,702) and University OF EAST Anglia (8 patents, rank #33,710) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 32.8/100 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 3 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a -40% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Universite DE LA Rochelle's 15.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 21 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Universite DE LA Rochelle against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Universite's 8 grants land it in the top 58% 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.
