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. By volume, Ohio sits between Lincoln Global, Inc. (638 patents, rank #711) and The Regents Of The University Of Colorado, A Body Corporate (634 patents, rank #719) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. 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.

How to use this portfolio

Ohio's 637 grants land it in the top 1% 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 - Ohio ranks #715 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in A61K - see who else leads that technology area. A61K 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.
