Portfolio overview

THE TRUSTEES OF INDIANA UNIVERSITY has been granted 120 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing THE TRUSTEES OF INDIANA UNIVERSITY at rank #3,146 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 79 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01J (ELECTRIC DISCHARGE TUBES OR DISCHARGE LAMPS). As a US Corporation, THE TRUSTEES OF INDIANA UNIVERSITY is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 66.6/100 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 116 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window — a +2800% 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 TRUSTEES OF INDIANA UNIVERSITY's 17.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 79 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark THE TRUSTEES OF INDIANA UNIVERSITY against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
