USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 8 granted patents across 13 technology areas, active 2017–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H10D (INORGANIC ELECTRIC SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES).
The verdict
Center holds 8 US patents across 13 technology areas, rank #31,263 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Center For Technology Licensing Cornell University has been granted 8 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Center For Technology Licensing Cornell University at rank #31,263 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in H10D (INORGANIC ELECTRIC SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES). As a US Corporation, Center For Technology Licensing Cornell University is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Center sits between Celltech Metals, Inc. (8 patents, rank #31,259) and Cequint, Inc. (8 patents, rank #31,267) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 43.0/100 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 6 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +200% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Center For Technology Licensing Cornell University's 21.1 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 13 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Center For Technology Licensing Cornell University against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Center's 8 grants land it in the top 29% 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.
