Portfolio overview

National Science And Technology Development Agency (nstda) has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing National Science And Technology Development Agency (nstda) at rank #26,966 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02A (TECHNOLOGIES FOR ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE). As a Foreign Corporation, National Science And Technology Development Agency (nstda) is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, National sits between Nara Logics, Inc. (10 patents, rank #26,962) and Navinta, Llc (10 patents, rank #26,970) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 39.4/100 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 3 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a -57% 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 Science And Technology Development Agency (nstda)'s 9.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark National Science And Technology Development Agency (nstda) against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
