Portfolio overview

TONGJI UNIVERSITY has been granted 194 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing TONGJI UNIVERSITY at rank #2,049 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 126 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in C02F (TREATMENT OF WATER, WASTE WATER, SEWAGE, OR SLUDGE). As a Foreign Corporation, TONGJI UNIVERSITY is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 69.1/100 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 167 grants, compared with 27 in the 2015–2019 window — a +519% 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. TONGJI UNIVERSITY's 9.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, 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 TONGJI UNIVERSITY against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
