Portfolio overview

Thomas Jefferson University has been granted 150 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Thomas Jefferson University at rank #2,599 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 64 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a US Corporation, Thomas Jefferson University is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Thomas sits between Qingdao Haier Washing Machine Co., Ltd. (150 patents, rank #2,595) and Atlas Copco Industrial Technique AB (149 patents, rank #2,603) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.7/100 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 95 grants, compared with 55 in the 2015–2019 window, a +73% 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. Thomas Jefferson University's 13.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 64 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Thomas Jefferson 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.
