Portfolio overview

HONGIK UNIVERSITY INDUSTRY-ACADEMIA COOPERATION FOUNDATION has been granted 30 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing HONGIK UNIVERSITY INDUSTRY-ACADEMIA COOPERATION FOUNDATION at rank #10,344 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 38 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01Q (ANTENNAS, i.e. RADIO AERIALS). As a Foreign Corporation, HONGIK UNIVERSITY INDUSTRY-ACADEMIA COOPERATION FOUNDATION is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 47.8/100 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 22 grants, compared with 8 in the 2015–2019 window, a +175% 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. HONGIK UNIVERSITY INDUSTRY-ACADEMIA COOPERATION FOUNDATION's 11.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 38 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark HONGIK UNIVERSITY INDUSTRY-ACADEMIA COOPERATION FOUNDATION against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Hongik's 30 grants land it in the top 18% 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 - Hongik ranks #10,344 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in H01Q - see who else leads that technology area. H01Q 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.
