Portfolio overview

Postech Academy-industry Foundation has been granted 418 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Postech Academy-industry Foundation at rank #1,041 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 171 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Postech Academy-industry Foundation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Postech sits between Worldpay, Llc (421 patents, rank #1,037) and Pegatron Corporation (414 patents, rank #1,045) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.0/100 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 138 grants, compared with 280 in the 2015–2019 window, a -51% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Postech Academy-industry Foundation's 12.9 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 Postech Academy-industry Foundation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
