USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 32 granted patents across 39 technology areas, active 2015–2020. 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 32 US patents across 39 technology areas, rank #9,910 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Universite Montpellier 2 Sciences ET Techniques has been granted 32 US utility patents between 2015 and 2020, placing Universite Montpellier 2 Sciences ET Techniques at rank #9,910 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 39 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a Foreign Corporation, Universite Montpellier 2 Sciences ET Techniques is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Universite sits between Toshiba Industrial Products And Systems Corporation (32 patents, rank #9,906) and Universiti Brunei Darussalam (32 patents, rank #9,914) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 43.8/100 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 1 grants, compared with 31 in the 2015–2019 window, a -97% 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 Montpellier 2 Sciences ET Techniques's 16.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 39 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Universite Montpellier 2 Sciences ET Techniques against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Universite's 32 grants land it in the top 27% 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.
