Industry-academic Cooperation Foundation, Chosun University has been granted 103 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Industry-academic Cooperation Foundation, Chosun University at rank #3,565 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 85 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Industry-academic Cooperation Foundation, Chosun University is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Industry-academic sits between FLOS S.p.a. (103 patents, rank #3,561) and Mazor Robotics Ltd. (103 patents, rank #3,569) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 52.0/100 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 62 grants, compared with 41 in the 2015–2019 window, a +51% 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. Industry-academic Cooperation Foundation, Chosun University's 10.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 85 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Industry-academic Cooperation Foundation, Chosun University against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Industry-academic's 103 grants land it in the top 11% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
