#8,614
of 50,000 tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 37 granted patents across 44 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: H01S (DEVICES USING THE PROCESS OF LIGHT AMPLIFICATION BY STIMULATED EMISSION OF RADIATION [LASER] TO AMPLIFY OR GENERATE LIGHT; DEVICES USING STIMULATED EMISSION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION IN WAVE RANGES).
The verdict
According to USPTO PatentsView, Inter-university ranks #8,614 of 50,000 tracked US assignees by granted-patent volume, with 37 patents across 44 technology areas.

What this shows Inter-university Research Institute Coporation National Institutes OF Natural Sciences stamps GRANTS-SMALL, UPPER-Q, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-WIDE, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-DROP, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #8,614 of 50,000; Innovation Score 48.0/100 sits in the top 17% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is IBC Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (±0 grants).
Inter-university Research Institute Coporation National Institutes OF Natural Sciences has been granted 37 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Inter-university Research Institute Coporation National Institutes OF Natural Sciences at #8,614 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 44 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01S (DEVICES USING THE PROCESS OF LIGHT AMPLIFICATION BY STIMULATED EMISSION OF RADIATION [LASER] TO AMPLIFY OR GENERATE LIGHT; DEVICES USING STIMULATED EMISSION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION IN WAVE RANGES). As a Foreign Corporation, Inter-university Research Institute Coporation National Institutes OF Natural Sciences is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Inter-university sits between IBC Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (37 patents, rank #8,608) and Johnson Level & Tool Mfg. Co., Inc. (37 patents, rank #8,616) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.0/100 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 13 grants, compared with 22 in the 2015–2019 window, a -41% 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. Inter-university Research Institute Coporation National Institutes OF Natural Sciences's 12.5 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 44 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
