Portfolio overview

The University Of New Brunswick has been granted 38 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing The University Of New Brunswick at rank #8,499 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 41 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01R (MEASURING ELECTRIC VARIABLES; MEASURING MAGNETIC VARIABLES). As a Foreign Corporation, The University Of New Brunswick is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, The sits between Taiheiyo Cement Corporation (38 patents, rank #8,495) and Universite DE Limoges (38 patents, rank #8,503) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 47.0/100 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 13 grants, compared with 25 in the 2015–2019 window, a -48% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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 University Of New Brunswick's 16.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 41 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark The University Of New Brunswick against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
