Portfolio overview

Fudan University has been granted 152 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Fudan University at rank #2,555 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 87 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS). As a Foreign Corporation, Fudan University is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Fudan sits between Universite Grenoble Alpes (153 patents, rank #2,551) and Joyson Safety Systems Acquisition Llc (152 patents, rank #2,559) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 61.5/100 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 101 grants, compared with 51 in the 2015–2019 window, a +98% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Fudan University's 12.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 87 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Fudan University against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Fudan's 152 grants land it in the top 3% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Fudan ranks #2,555 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in A61P - see who else leads that technology area. A61P leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
