USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 66 granted patents across 26 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H04N (PICTORIAL COMMUNICATION, e.g. TELEVISION).
The verdict
Industry—university holds 66 US patents across 26 technology areas, rank #5,211 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Industry—university Cooperation Foundation Korea Aerospace University has been granted 66 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Industry—university Cooperation Foundation Korea Aerospace University at rank #5,211 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 26 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04N (PICTORIAL COMMUNICATION, e.g. TELEVISION). As a Foreign Corporation, Industry—university Cooperation Foundation Korea Aerospace University is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Industry—university sits between Hamilton Bonaduz Ag (66 patents, rank #5,207) and Jacobs Vehicle Systems, Inc. (66 patents, rank #5,215) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 53.0/100 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 46 grants, compared with 20 in the 2015–2019 window, a +130% 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—university Cooperation Foundation Korea Aerospace University's 12.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 26 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Industry—university Cooperation Foundation Korea Aerospace University against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Industry—university's 66 grants land it in the top 9% 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.
