The verdict
Iucf-hyu holds 346 US patents across 169 technology areas, rank #1,229 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Iucf-hyu (industry-university Cooperation Foundation Hanyang University) has been granted 346 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Iucf-hyu (industry-university Cooperation Foundation Hanyang University) at rank #1,229 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 169 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.8 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, Iucf-hyu (industry-university Cooperation Foundation Hanyang University) is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Iucf-hyu sits between King Slide Technology Co., Ltd. (347 patents, rank #1,225) and Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit Co., Ltd. (344 patents, rank #1,233) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 60.8/100 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 241 grants, compared with 105 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. Iucf-hyu (industry-university Cooperation Foundation Hanyang University)'s 12.8 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 Iucf-hyu (industry-university Cooperation Foundation Hanyang University) against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Iucf-hyu's 346 grants land it in the top 3% 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.
