Portfolio overview

SEED Research Institute Co., Ltd. has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2018 and 2023, placing SEED Research Institute Co., Ltd. at rank #29,991 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in C07D (HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS). As a Foreign Corporation, SEED Research Institute Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, SEED sits between SD Biosensor, Inc. (9 patents, rank #29,987) and Selfie Snapper, Inc. (9 patents, rank #29,995) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 27.1/100 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 6 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +100% 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. SEED Research Institute Co., Ltd.'s 11.1 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark SEED Research Institute Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
