THE UNIVERSITY OF TOKYO

THE UNIVERSITY OF TOKYO has been granted 920 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing THE UNIVERSITY OF TOKYO at rank #482 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 247 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES). As a Foreign Corporation, THE UNIVERSITY OF TOKYO is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 61.2/100 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 477 grants, compared with 443 in the 2015–2019 window — a +8% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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 TOKYO's 12.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark THE UNIVERSITY OF TOKYO against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
