Portfolio overview
Ohio State Innovation Foundation has been granted 637 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Ohio State Innovation Foundation at rank #715 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 208 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a US Corporation, Ohio State Innovation Foundation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 66.0/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 435 grants, compared with 202 in the 2015–2019 window — a +115% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The US 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. Ohio State Innovation Foundation's 17.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Ohio State Innovation Foundation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
