Portfolio overview

Universite Grenoble Alpes has been granted 153 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Universite Grenoble Alpes at rank #2,551 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 132 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Universite Grenoble Alpes is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Universite sits between Safran Electrical & Power (153 patents, rank #2,547) and Fudan University (152 patents, rank #2,555) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 59.2/100 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 116 grants, compared with 37 in the 2015–2019 window, a +214% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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 Grenoble Alpes's 13.7 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 Grenoble Alpes against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
