USPTO PatentsView assignee record — 134 granted patents across 64 technology areas, active 2023–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: B01J (CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROCESSES, e.g. CATALYSIS OR COLLOID CHEMISTRY; THEIR RELEVANT APPARATUS).
IMAM MOHAMMAD IBN SAUD ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY has been granted 134 US utility patents between 2023 and 2025, placing IMAM MOHAMMAD IBN SAUD ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY at rank #2,859 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 64 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in B01J (CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROCESSES, e.g. CATALYSIS OR COLLOID CHEMISTRY; THEIR RELEVANT APPARATUS). As a Foreign Corporation, IMAM MOHAMMAD IBN SAUD ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 72.7/100 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. Historical data spans 2023 through 2025, with 134 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. IMAM MOHAMMAD IBN SAUD ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY's 17.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, 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 IMAM MOHAMMAD IBN SAUD ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
