The verdict
National holds 218 US patents across 171 technology areas, rank #1,847 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
National Chung SHAN Institute OF Science AND Technology has been granted 218 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing National Chung SHAN Institute OF Science AND Technology at rank #1,847 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 171 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02E (REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS [GHG] EMISSIONS, RELATED TO ENERGY GENERATION, TRANSMISSION OR DISTRIBUTION). As a Foreign Corporation, National Chung SHAN Institute OF Science AND Technology is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, National sits between Thyssenkrupp Steel Europe Ag (219 patents, rank #1,843) and Suncast Technologies, Llc (218 patents, rank #1,851) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.0/100 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 105 grants, compared with 113 in the 2015–2019 window, a -7% 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 Chung SHAN Institute OF Science AND Technology's 9.7 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 Chung SHAN Institute OF Science AND Technology against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
National's 218 grants land it in the top 12% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
