USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 10 granted patents across 9 technology areas, active 2015–2018. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION).
The verdict
National holds 10 US patents across 9 technology areas, rank #26,965 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
National Institute Of Radiological Sciences has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2015 and 2018, placing National Institute Of Radiological Sciences at rank #26,965 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 9 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). As a Foreign Corporation, National Institute Of Radiological Sciences is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, National sits between Nantstudios, Llc (10 patents, rank #26,961) and Nauti-craft Pty Ltd (10 patents, rank #26,969) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 25.4/100 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 0 grants, compared with 10 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% 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 Radiological Sciences's 10.9 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 9 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark National Institute Of Radiological Sciences against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
National's 10 grants land it in the top 83% 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.
