Portfolio overview

Industry-university Cooperation Foundation Hanyang University has been granted 637 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Industry-university Cooperation Foundation Hanyang University at rank #714 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 201 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02E (REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS [GHG] EMISSIONS, RELATED TO ENERGY GENERATION, TRANSMISSION OR DISTRIBUTION). As a Foreign Corporation, Industry-university Cooperation Foundation Hanyang University is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Industry-university sits between Mann+hummel Gmbh (639 patents, rank #710) and Taylor Made Golf Company, Inc. (635 patents, rank #718) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 60.0/100 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 364 grants, compared with 273 in the 2015–2019 window, a +33% 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. Industry-university Cooperation Foundation Hanyang University's 12.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Industry-university Cooperation Foundation Hanyang University against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
