Portfolio overview
FOUNDATION OF SOONGSIL UNIVERSITY-INDUSTRY COOPERATION has been granted 184 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing FOUNDATION OF SOONGSIL UNIVERSITY-INDUSTRY COOPERATION at rank #2,141 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 98 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, FOUNDATION OF SOONGSIL UNIVERSITY-INDUSTRY COOPERATION is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 54.2/100 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 82 grants, compared with 102 in the 2015–2019 window — a -20% 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. FOUNDATION OF SOONGSIL UNIVERSITY-INDUSTRY COOPERATION's 11.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 98 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark FOUNDATION OF SOONGSIL UNIVERSITY-INDUSTRY COOPERATION against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
