Portfolio overview
California State University Fresno Foundation has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing California State University Fresno Foundation at rank #26,013 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 21 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01G (HORTICULTURE; CULTIVATION OF VEGETABLES, FLOWERS, RICE, FRUIT, VINES, HOPS OR SEAWEED; FORESTRY; WATERING). As a US Corporation, California State University Fresno Foundation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, California sits between Cadila Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (10 patents, rank #26,009) and Carna Biosciences, Inc. (10 patents, rank #26,017) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 32.2/100 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 3 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a -57% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. California State University Fresno Foundation's 9.1 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 21 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark California State University Fresno Foundation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

- Most of this portfolio concentrates in A01G - see who else leads that technology area. A01G 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.
