Portfolio overview

Brandeis University has been granted 131 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Brandeis University at rank #2,909 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 56 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a US Corporation, Brandeis University is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Brandeis sits between Trinity Bay Equipment Holdings, Llc (132 patents, rank #2,905) and Inno-pak, Llc (131 patents, rank #2,913) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 55.1/100 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 74 grants, compared with 57 in the 2015–2019 window, a +30% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. The US 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. Brandeis University's 16.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 56 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Brandeis University against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
