Portfolio overview

Industry-university Cooperation Foundation Sunmoon University has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Industry-university Cooperation Foundation Sunmoon University at rank #26,580 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 18 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 7.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01J (ELECTRIC DISCHARGE TUBES OR DISCHARGE LAMPS). As a Foreign Corporation, Industry-university Cooperation Foundation Sunmoon University is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Industry-university sits between Incisive Surgical, Inc. (10 patents, rank #26,576) and Infrastructure Renewal Institute Of Southern China (10 patents, rank #26,584) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 27.5/100 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 4 grants, compared with 6 in the 2015–2019 window, a -33% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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 Sunmoon University's 7.1 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 18 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Industry-university Cooperation Foundation Sunmoon University against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
