USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 151 granted patents across 126 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H10K (ORGANIC ELECTRIC SOLID-STATE DEVICES).
The verdict
Pusan holds 151 US patents across 126 technology areas, rank #2,578 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Pusan National University Industry-university Cooperation Foundation has been granted 151 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Pusan National University Industry-university Cooperation Foundation at rank #2,578 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 126 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in H10K (ORGANIC ELECTRIC SOLID-STATE DEVICES). As a Foreign Corporation, Pusan National University Industry-university Cooperation Foundation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Pusan sits between Building Materials Investment Corporation (151 patents, rank #2,574) and Windmöller & Hölscher KG (151 patents, rank #2,582) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 53.1/100 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 79 grants, compared with 72 in the 2015–2019 window, a +10% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Pusan National University Industry-university Cooperation Foundation's 10.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, 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 Pusan National University Industry-university Cooperation Foundation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Pusan's 151 grants land it in the top 9% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
