USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 139 granted patents across 84 technology areas, active 2021–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G06T (IMAGE DATA PROCESSING OR GENERATION, IN GENERAL).
The verdict
National holds 139 US patents across 84 technology areas, rank #2,775 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
National YANG MING Chiao TUNG University has been granted 139 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing National YANG MING Chiao TUNG University at rank #2,775 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 84 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06T (IMAGE DATA PROCESSING OR GENERATION, IN GENERAL). As a Foreign Corporation, National YANG MING Chiao TUNG University is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, National sits between JOBY AERO, Inc. (139 patents, rank #2,771) and Softbank Corp. (139 patents, rank #2,779) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 70.0/100 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. Historical data spans 2021 through 2025, with 139 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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 YANG MING Chiao TUNG University's 13.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 84 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark National YANG MING Chiao TUNG University against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
National's 139 grants land it in the top 0.1% 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.
