Portfolio overview

INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY MADRAS (IIT MADRAS) has been granted 106 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY MADRAS (IIT MADRAS) at rank #3,479 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 95 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04W (WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS). As a Foreign Corporation, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY MADRAS (IIT MADRAS) is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 64.6/100 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 61 grants, compared with 45 in the 2015–2019 window — a +36% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY MADRAS (IIT MADRAS)'s 17.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 95 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY MADRAS (IIT MADRAS) against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Indian's 106 grants land it in the top 2% 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 — Indian ranks #3,479 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in H04W — see who else leads that technology area. H04W 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.
