Volume places it #6,979 of 50,000; Innovation Score 40.3/100 sits in the top 36% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Entigenlogic Llc (±0 grants).
Össur Iceland Ehf has been granted 48 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Össur Iceland Ehf at #6,979 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61F (FILTERS IMPLANTABLE INTO BLOOD VESSELS; PROSTHESES; DEVICES PROVIDING PATENCY TO, OR PREVENTING COLLAPSING OF, TUBULAR STRUCTURES OF THE BODY, e.g. STENTS; ORTHOPAEDIC, NURSING OR CONTRACEPTIVE DEVICE). As a Foreign Corporation, Össur Iceland Ehf is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Össur sits between Wika Alexander Wiegand SE & Co. KG (48 patents, rank #6,975) and Avenu Medical, Inc. (47 patents, rank #6,983) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 40.3/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 32 grants, compared with 10 in the 2015–2019 window, a +220% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Össur Iceland Ehf's 17.3 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 12 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
