The verdict
Kunming holds 65 US patents across 60 technology areas, rank #5,298 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Kunming University Of Science And Technology has been granted 65 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing Kunming University Of Science And Technology at rank #5,298 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 60 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in B01D (SEPARATION). As a Foreign Government, Kunming University Of Science And Technology is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Kunming sits between Johnstech International Corporation (65 patents, rank #5,294) and Neonode Inc. (65 patents, rank #5,302) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 64.8/100 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 64 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +6300% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The Foreign Government 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. Kunming University Of Science And Technology's 8.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 60 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Kunming University Of Science And Technology against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Kunming's 65 grants land it in the top 1% 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.
