The verdict
Research holds 100 US patents across 38 technology areas — rank #3,666 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital has been granted 100 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital at rank #3,666 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 38 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a US Corporation, Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 59.0/100 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 79 grants, compared with 21 in the 2015–2019 window — a +276% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The US 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. Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital's 17.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 38 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Research's 100 grants land it in the top 4% 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.
