USPTO PatentsView assignee record — 151 granted patents across 118 technology areas, active 2021–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H01Q (ANTENNAS, i.e. RADIO AERIALS).
The verdict
Postech holds 151 US patents across 118 technology areas — rank #2,579 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Postech Research and Business Development Foundation has been granted 151 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing Postech Research and Business Development Foundation at rank #2,579 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 118 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01Q (ANTENNAS, i.e. RADIO AERIALS). As a Foreign Corporation, Postech Research and Business Development Foundation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 70.6/100 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 151 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. Postech Research and Business Development Foundation's 13.8 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 Research and Business Development Foundation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
