Portfolio overview

Southwest Forestry University has been granted 8 US utility patents between 2022 and 2025, placing Southwest Forestry University at rank #33,432 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 22 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in C08L (COMPOSITIONS OF MACROMOLECULAR COMPOUNDS). As a Foreign Corporation, Southwest Forestry University is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Southwest sits between Sonic Blocks, Inc. (8 patents, rank #33,428) and Speedplay, Inc. (8 patents, rank #33,436) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 49.8/100 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. Historical data spans 2022 through 2025, with 8 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Southwest Forestry University's 9.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 22 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Southwest Forestry University against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
