Portfolio overview
The Industry & Academic Cooperation in Chungnam National University (IAC) has been granted 61 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing The Industry & Academic Cooperation in Chungnam National University (IAC) at rank #5,636 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 70 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES). As a Foreign Corporation, The Industry & Academic Cooperation in Chungnam National University (IAC) is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 55.4/100 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 40 grants, compared with 21 in the 2015–2019 window — a +90% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. The Industry & Academic Cooperation in Chungnam National University (IAC)'s 11.2 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 70 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark The Industry & Academic Cooperation in Chungnam National University (IAC) against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
