What this shows Texas Institute Of Science, Inc. stamps GRANTS-MICRO, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-THIN, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-UNK, SPAN-YRS, BOOK-RICH. Volume places it #16,435 of 50,000; Innovation Score 33.4/100 sits in the top 56% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Teratech Corporation (±0 grants).
Texas Institute Of Science, Inc. has been granted 18 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Texas Institute Of Science, Inc. at #16,435 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04R (LOUDSPEAKERS, MICROPHONES, GRAMOPHONE PICK-UPS OR LIKE ACOUSTIC ELECTROMECHANICAL TRANSDUCERS; DEAF-AID SETS; PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEMS). As a Assignee, Texas Institute Of Science, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Texas sits between Teratech Corporation (18 patents, rank #16,441) and The C.w. Zumbiel Company (18 patents, rank #16,449) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 33.4/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 18 total grants over that period. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Assignee classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Texas Institute Of Science, Inc.'s 17.7 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 10 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
