Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 783 granted patents across 210 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES).
The verdict
National holds 783 US patents across 210 technology areas, rank #574 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
National Tsing HUA University has been granted 783 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing National Tsing HUA University at rank #574 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 210 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES). As a Foreign Corporation, National Tsing HUA University is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, National sits between YETI Coolers, Llc (789 patents, rank #570) and Chevron Phillips Chemical Company Lp (777 patents, rank #578) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 60.9/100 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 338 grants, compared with 445 in the 2015–2019 window, a -24% 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 Tsing HUA University's 12.0 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 Tsing HUA University against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
National's 783 grants land it in the top 3% 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.
