Portfolio overview

Nanyang Technological University has been granted 468 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Nanyang Technological University at rank #945 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 207 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a Foreign Corporation, Nanyang Technological University is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Nanyang sits between Adeia Guides Inc. (470 patents, rank #941) and Siemens Healthineers Ag (466 patents, rank #949) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 61.0/100 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 221 grants, compared with 247 in the 2015–2019 window, a -11% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Nanyang Technological University's 16.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, 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 Nanyang Technological University against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
