Portfolio overview

Shanghai Jiao Tong University has been granted 308 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Shanghai Jiao Tong University at rank #1,361 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 177 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, Shanghai Jiao Tong University is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Shanghai sits between Daio Paper Corporation (309 patents, rank #1,357) and The Chinese University Of Hong Kong (307 patents, rank #1,365) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 62.0/100 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 235 grants, compared with 73 in the 2015–2019 window, a +222% 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. Shanghai Jiao Tong University's 8.9 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Shanghai Jiao Tong University against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
