Portfolio overview
National University Corporation Kyoto Institute OF Technology has been granted 43 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing National University Corporation Kyoto Institute OF Technology at #7,595 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 58 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01L (SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES NOT COVERED BY CLASS H10). As a Foreign Corporation, National University Corporation Kyoto Institute OF Technology is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, National sits between Medtronic Ireland Manufacturing Unlimited Company (43 patents, rank #7,591) and Norgren Limited (43 patents, rank #7,599) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 55.3/100 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. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 24 grants, compared with 17 in the 2015–2019 window, a +41% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. 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 University Corporation Kyoto Institute OF Technology's 10.9 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 58 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
National's 43 grants land it in the top 7% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
- Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - National ranks #7,595 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
- Most of this portfolio concentrates in H01L - see who else leads that technology area. H01L leaders
- Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works
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.
