Portfolio overview
EMORY UNIVERSITY has been granted 512 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing EMORY UNIVERSITY at rank #885 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 83 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a US Corporation, EMORY UNIVERSITY is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 60.4/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 289 grants, compared with 223 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. EMORY UNIVERSITY's 13.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 83 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark EMORY UNIVERSITY against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
