Portfolio overview

Republic OF Korea(management: Rural Development Administration) has been granted 16 US utility patents between 2016 and 2023, placing Republic OF Korea(management: Rural Development Administration) at rank #18,035 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 19 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a Foreign Corporation, Republic OF Korea(management: Rural Development Administration) is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Republic sits between Reflex Instruments ASIA Pacific PTY Ltd (16 patents, rank #18,031) and Rockwood Lithium Gmbh (16 patents, rank #18,039) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 32.3/100 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 13 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +333% 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. Republic OF Korea(management: Rural Development Administration)'s 8.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 19 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Republic OF Korea(management: Rural Development Administration) against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
