Portfolio overview

AJOU University Industry-academic Cooperation has been granted 288 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing AJOU University Industry-academic Cooperation at rank #1,446 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 124 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a Foreign Corporation, AJOU University Industry-academic Cooperation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, AJOU sits between Cheng UEI Precision Industry Co., Ltd. (289 patents, rank #1,442) and Nifco Inc. (288 patents, rank #1,450) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 58.2/100 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 183 grants, compared with 105 in the 2015–2019 window, a +74% 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. AJOU University Industry-academic Cooperation's 11.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, 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 AJOU University Industry-academic Cooperation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
