National University Orporation Tokyo University OF Agriculture AND Technology has been granted 61 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing National University Orporation Tokyo University OF Agriculture AND Technology at #5,612 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 74 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01L (SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES NOT COVERED BY CLASS H10). As a Foreign Corporation, National University Orporation Tokyo University OF Agriculture AND Technology is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, National sits between Maxlite, Inc (61 patents, rank #5,606) and Noxell Corporation (61 patents, rank #5,614) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.8/100 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 32 grants, compared with 23 in the 2015–2019 window, a +39% 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 Orporation Tokyo University OF Agriculture AND Technology's 9.6 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 74 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
