Portfolio overview

THE School Corporation Kansai University has been granted 40 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing THE School Corporation Kansai University at #8,124 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 51 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in B66C (CRANES; LOAD-ENGAGING ELEMENTS OR DEVICES FOR CRANES, CAPSTANS, WINCHES, OR TACKLES). As a Foreign Corporation, THE School Corporation Kansai University is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, THE sits between Storebound Llc (40 patents, rank #8,117) and Tusas—turk Havacilik VE UZAY Sanayii Anonim Sirketi (40 patents, rank #8,125) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 56.5/100 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. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 33 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a +560% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. 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 Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.

Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. THE School Corporation Kansai University's 8.8 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 51 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
