What this shows Indian Institute OF Technology Kanpur stamps GRANTS-SMALL, UPPER-Q, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-DROP, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #12,488 of 50,000; Innovation Score 47.8/100 sits in the top 18% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is IB Appliances US Holdings, Llc (±0 grants).
Indian Institute OF Technology Kanpur has been granted 24 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Indian Institute OF Technology Kanpur at #12,488 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 38 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in H10K (ORGANIC ELECTRIC SOLID-STATE DEVICES). As a Foreign Corporation, Indian Institute OF Technology Kanpur is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Indian sits between IB Appliances US Holdings, Llc (24 patents, rank #12,482) and Ipetit Co., Ltd. (24 patents, rank #12,490) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 47.8/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 2 grants, compared with 21 in the 2015–2019 window, a -90% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Indian Institute OF Technology Kanpur's 19.2 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 38 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
