Portfolio overview
National University Corporation Tokyo Medical and Dental University has been granted 89 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing National University Corporation Tokyo Medical and Dental University at rank #4,054 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 43 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS). As a Foreign Corporation, National University Corporation Tokyo Medical and Dental University is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 52.4/100 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 56 grants, compared with 33 in the 2015–2019 window — a +70% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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 Tokyo Medical and Dental University's 11.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 43 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark National University Corporation Tokyo Medical and Dental University against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
