Portfolio overview

National Kaohsiung University OF Science AND Technology has been granted 22 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing National Kaohsiung University OF Science AND Technology at #13,569 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 47 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in B29C (SHAPING OR JOINING OF PLASTICS; SHAPING OF MATERIAL IN A PLASTIC STATE, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; AFTER-TREATMENT OF THE SHAPED PRODUCTS, e.g. REPAIRING). As a Foreign Corporation, National Kaohsiung University OF Science AND Technology is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, National sits between Montana Instruments Corporation (22 patents, rank #13,561) and Ninestar Corporation (22 patents, rank #13,569) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 54.8/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.

Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 22 total grants over that period. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.

Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. National Kaohsiung University OF Science AND Technology's 8.5 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 47 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
