Portfolio overview

THE Texas A&M University has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing THE Texas A&M University at rank #37,836 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 24 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in C12Y (ENZYMES). As a US Corporation, THE Texas A&M University is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, THE sits between THE Provost, Fellows AND Scholars OF THE College OF THE HOLY AND Undivided Trinity OF Queen Elizabeth NEAR Dublin (7 patents, rank #37,832) and Theravectys (7 patents, rank #37,840) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 52.6/100 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 5 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +150% 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. THE Texas A&M University's 13.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 24 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark THE Texas A&M University against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

Patent counts and the Innovation Score measure patenting activity, not commercial success or the legal strength of any patent. Many patents are filed defensively. Verify the status of an individual patent against official USPTO records.
