Portfolio overview

Gachon University Of Industry-academic Cooperation Foundation has been granted 65 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Gachon University Of Industry-academic Cooperation Foundation at rank #5,284 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 64 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a Foreign Corporation, Gachon University Of Industry-academic Cooperation Foundation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Gachon sits between FUJI SEAL International, Inc. (65 patents, rank #5,280) and Headwater Partners II Llc (65 patents, rank #5,288) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.2/100 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 42 grants, compared with 23 in the 2015–2019 window, a +83% 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. Gachon University Of Industry-academic Cooperation Foundation's 9.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 64 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Gachon University Of Industry-academic Cooperation Foundation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
