The verdict
Central holds 9 US patents across 24 technology areas, rank #28,343 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Central South University OF Forestry AND Technology has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing Central South University OF Forestry AND Technology at rank #28,343 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 24 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01G (HORTICULTURE; CULTIVATION OF VEGETABLES, FLOWERS, RICE, FRUIT, VINES, HOPS OR SEAWEED; FORESTRY; WATERING). As a Foreign Corporation, Central South University OF Forestry AND Technology is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Central sits between Celon Pharma S.a. (9 patents, rank #28,339) and Cevec Pharmaceuticals Gmbh (9 patents, rank #28,347) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 38.4/100 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. Historical data spans 2021 through 2025, with 9 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Central South University OF Forestry AND Technology's 10.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 24 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Central South University OF Forestry AND Technology against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Central's 9 grants land it in the top 41% 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.
