The verdict
Eberhard-karls-universität holds 10 US patents across 12 technology areas, rank #26,230 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Eberhard-karls-universität Tübingen Universitätsklinikum has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Eberhard-karls-universität Tübingen Universitätsklinikum at rank #26,230 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in C12N (MICROORGANISMS OR ENZYMES; COMPOSITIONS THEREOF; PROPAGATING, PRESERVING, OR MAINTAINING MICROORGANISMS; MUTATION OR GENETIC ENGINEERING; CULTURE MEDIA). As a Foreign Corporation, Eberhard-karls-universität Tübingen Universitätsklinikum is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Eberhard-karls-universität sits between Eagle US 2 Llc (10 patents, rank #26,226) and Ecore International Inc. (10 patents, rank #26,234) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 35.2/100 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 2 grants, compared with 8 in the 2015–2019 window, a -75% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Eberhard-karls-universität Tübingen Universitätsklinikum's 13.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Eberhard-karls-universität Tübingen Universitätsklinikum against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Eberhard-karls-universität's 10 grants land it in the top 50% 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.
