Portfolio overview
QATAR UNIVERSITY has been granted 103 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing QATAR UNIVERSITY at rank #3,574 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 92 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in B01J (CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROCESSES, e.g. CATALYSIS OR COLLOID CHEMISTRY; THEIR RELEVANT APPARATUS). As a Foreign Corporation, QATAR UNIVERSITY is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 58.1/100 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 78 grants, compared with 25 in the 2015–2019 window — a +212% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. QATAR UNIVERSITY's 14.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 92 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark QATAR UNIVERSITY against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
