Portfolio overview

Shandong Normal University has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Shandong Normal University at rank #25,129 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 16 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES). As a Foreign Corporation, Shandong Normal University is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Shandong sits between SEN Corporation (11 patents, rank #25,125) and Shanghai TAI MO Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (11 patents, rank #25,133) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.2/100 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 10 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +900% 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. Shandong Normal University's 8.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 16 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Shandong Normal University against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
