Portfolio overview

NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CORPORATION SHIZUOKA UNIVERSITY has been granted 98 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CORPORATION SHIZUOKA UNIVERSITY at rank #3,706 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 83 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04N (PICTORIAL COMMUNICATION, e.g. TELEVISION). As a Foreign Corporation, NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CORPORATION SHIZUOKA UNIVERSITY is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 54.2/100 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 44 grants, compared with 54 in the 2015–2019 window — a -19% 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 UNIVERSITY CORPORATION SHIZUOKA UNIVERSITY's 10.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 83 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CORPORATION SHIZUOKA UNIVERSITY against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

National's 98 grants land it in the top 8% 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 #3,706 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in H04N — see who else leads that technology area. H04N 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.
