Portfolio overview

National Chiao Tung University has been granted 434 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing National Chiao Tung University at rank #1,011 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 163 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in H10D (INORGANIC ELECTRIC SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES). As a Foreign Corporation, National Chiao Tung University is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, National sits between Glaxosmithkline Biologicals Sa (436 patents, rank #1,007) and Universal Electronics Inc. (433 patents, rank #1,015) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 55.4/100 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 147 grants, compared with 287 in the 2015–2019 window, a -49% 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. National Chiao Tung University's 11.9 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 National Chiao Tung University against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

National's 434 grants land it in the top 7% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - National ranks #1,011 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in H10D - see who else leads that technology area. H10D leaders
  • 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.
