GWANGJU INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

GWANGJU INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY has been granted 309 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing GWANGJU INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY at rank #1,359 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 146 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES). As a Foreign Corporation, GWANGJU INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 56.6/100 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 107 grants, compared with 202 in the 2015–2019 window — a -47% 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. GWANGJU INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY's 11.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark GWANGJU INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
