Portfolio overview
KWANGWOON UNIVERSITY INDUSTRY-ACADEMIC COLLABORATION FOUNDATION has been granted 153 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing KWANGWOON UNIVERSITY INDUSTRY-ACADEMIC COLLABORATION FOUNDATION at rank #2,542 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 37 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04N (PICTORIAL COMMUNICATION, e.g. TELEVISION). As a Foreign Corporation, KWANGWOON UNIVERSITY INDUSTRY-ACADEMIC COLLABORATION FOUNDATION is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 55.8/100 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 101 grants, compared with 52 in the 2015–2019 window — a +94% 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. KWANGWOON UNIVERSITY INDUSTRY-ACADEMIC COLLABORATION FOUNDATION's 9.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 37 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark KWANGWOON UNIVERSITY INDUSTRY-ACADEMIC COLLABORATION FOUNDATION against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
