Portfolio overview

MUSC Foundation For Research Development has been granted 111 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing MUSC Foundation For Research Development at rank #3,352 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 38 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a US Corporation, MUSC Foundation For Research Development is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, MUSC sits between Imperial Innovations Limited (111 patents, rank #3,348) and ROM Technologies, Inc. (111 patents, rank #3,356) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.9/100 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 60 grants, compared with 51 in the 2015–2019 window, a +18% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. The US 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. MUSC Foundation For Research Development's 14.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 38 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark MUSC Foundation For Research Development 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.
