Portfolio overview

National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2016 and 2022, placing National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science at rank #29,578 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 19 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES). As a Foreign Corporation, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 30.8/100 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 2 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window — a -71% 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 Institute of Advanced Industrial Science's 8.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 19 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
