Portfolio overview
Khalifa University of Science and Technology has been granted 156 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Khalifa University of Science and Technology at rank #2,502 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 146 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Khalifa University of Science and Technology is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 60.3/100 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 122 grants, compared with 34 in the 2015–2019 window — a +259% 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. Khalifa University of Science and Technology's 17.2 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 Khalifa University of Science and Technology against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
