of 50,000 tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 40 granted patents across 50 technology areas, recorded in grant years 2015–2025. Grant-trend analysis is cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search; it does not measure application filings, current R&D, or legal strength. Primary class: G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING).
The verdict
According to USPTO PatentsView, Industry-academic ranks #8,050 of 50,000 tracked US assignees by granted-patent volume, with 40 patents across 50 technology areas.
Industry-academic Cooperation Foundation, Dankook University has been granted 40 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Industry-academic Cooperation Foundation, Dankook University at #8,050 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 50 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, Industry-academic Cooperation Foundation, Dankook University is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Industry-academic sits between Innomotics Gmbh (40 patents, rank #8,047) and J.w. Speaker Corporation (40 patents, rank #8,055) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 49.8/100 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 21 grants, compared with 17 in the 2015–2019 window, a +24% 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. Industry-academic Cooperation Foundation, Dankook University's 13.1 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 50 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Industry-academic's 40 grants land it in the top 14% 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.
