Portfolio overview
Tokyo University of Science Foundation has been granted 97 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Tokyo University of Science Foundation at rank #3,758 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 84 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02E (REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS [GHG] EMISSIONS, RELATED TO ENERGY GENERATION, TRANSMISSION OR DISTRIBUTION). As a Foreign Corporation, Tokyo University of Science Foundation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 51.5/100 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 67 grants, compared with 30 in the 2015–2019 window — a +123% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Tokyo University of Science Foundation's 9.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 84 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Tokyo University of Science Foundation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Tokyo's 97 grants land it in the top 11% by Innovation Score — but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
- Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance — Tokyo ranks #3,758 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
- Most of this portfolio concentrates in Y02E — see who else leads that technology area. Y02E leaders
- Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works
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.
