Portfolio overview

Temple University-of The Commonwealth System Of Higher Education has been granted 166 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Temple University-of The Commonwealth System Of Higher Education at rank #2,365 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 92 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS). As a US Corporation, Temple University-of The Commonwealth System Of Higher Education is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Temple sits between Massachusetts Eye And Ear Infirmary (166 patents, rank #2,361) and Amdocs Software Systems Limited (165 patents, rank #2,369) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 59.9/100 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 98 grants, compared with 68 in the 2015–2019 window, a +44% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Temple University-of The Commonwealth System Of Higher Education's 16.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 92 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Temple University-of The Commonwealth System Of Higher Education against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
