Portfolio overview

KING Faisal University has been granted 803 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing KING Faisal University at rank #558 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 164 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS). As a Foreign Corporation, KING Faisal University is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, KING sits between C.r. Bard, Inc. (808 patents, rank #554) and Hefei BOE Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. (802 patents, rank #562) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 74.6/100 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 801 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +39950% 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. KING Faisal University's 10.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, 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 KING Faisal University against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
