Portfolio overview

Oregon Health & Science University has been granted 248 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Oregon Health & Science University at rank #1,658 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 52 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a US Corporation, Oregon Health & Science University is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Oregon sits between Activision Publishing, Inc. (248 patents, rank #1,654) and Biogen MA Inc. (247 patents, rank #1,662) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 61.7/100 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 133 grants, compared with 115 in the 2015–2019 window, a +16% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Oregon Health & Science University's 18.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 52 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Oregon Health & Science University against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
