Portfolio overview

Kyungpook National University Industry-academic Cooperation Foundation has been granted 266 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Kyungpook National University Industry-academic Cooperation Foundation at rank #1,559 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 146 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a Foreign Corporation, Kyungpook National University Industry-academic Cooperation Foundation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Kyungpook sits between S-printing Solution Co., Ltd. (267 patents, rank #1,555) and Adeka Corporation (265 patents, rank #1,563) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 55.1/100 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 134 grants, compared with 132 in the 2015–2019 window, a +2% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Kyungpook National University Industry-academic Cooperation Foundation's 10.3 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 Kyungpook National University Industry-academic Cooperation Foundation 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.
