Board OF Supervisors OF Louisiana State University AND Agricultural AND Mechanical College has been granted 292 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Board OF Supervisors OF Louisiana State University AND Agricultural AND Mechanical College at rank #1,431 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 135 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a US Federal Government, Board OF Supervisors OF Louisiana State University AND Agricultural AND Mechanical College is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Board sits between Genius Electronic Optical (xiamen) Co., Ltd. (294 patents, rank #1,427) and National Research Council Of Canada (291 patents, rank #1,435) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 59.1/100 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 169 grants, compared with 123 in the 2015–2019 window, a +37% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. The US Federal Government 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. Board OF Supervisors OF Louisiana State University AND Agricultural AND Mechanical College's 14.5 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 Board OF Supervisors OF Louisiana State University AND Agricultural AND Mechanical College against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Board's 292 grants land it in the top 4% 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.
