Portfolio overview

Université Laval has been granted 125 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Université Laval at rank #3,052 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 100 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS). As a Foreign Corporation, Université Laval is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Université sits between SKC Co., Ltd. (125 patents, rank #3,048) and Acceleron Pharma Inc. (124 patents, rank #3,056) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.0/100 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 64 grants, compared with 61 in the 2015–2019 window, a +5% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Université Laval's 16.2 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 Université Laval against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Université's 125 grants land it in the top 6% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Université ranks #3,052 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in A61P - see who else leads that technology area. A61P leaders
  • 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.
