Portfolio overview

The American University In Cairo has been granted 20 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing The American University In Cairo at rank #14,996 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 55 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a US Corporation, The American University In Cairo is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, The sits between Temasek Polytechnic (20 patents, rank #14,992) and The J. David Gladstone Institute, A Testamentary Trust Established Under The Will Of J. David Gladstone (20 patents, rank #15,000) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 45.0/100 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 11 grants, compared with 9 in the 2015–2019 window, a +22% 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. The American University In Cairo's 11.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 55 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark The American University In Cairo against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
