Portfolio overview

Texas State University—san Marcos has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Texas State University—san Marcos at rank #27,632 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 18 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in C01B (NON-METALLIC ELEMENTS; COMPOUNDS THEREOF; ; METALLOIDS OR COMPOUNDS THEREOF NOT COVERED BY SUBCLASS C01C). As a US Corporation, Texas State University—san Marcos is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Texas sits between Tendril Networks, Inc. (10 patents, rank #27,628) and The Bartley J. Madden Foundation (10 patents, rank #27,636) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 35.1/100 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 6 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a +50% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Texas State University—san Marcos's 17.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 18 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Texas State University—san Marcos against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
