Portfolio overview
Trustees of Tufts College has been granted 232 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Trustees of Tufts College at rank #1,755 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 116 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a US Corporation, Trustees of Tufts College is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 62.3/100 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 144 grants, compared with 88 in the 2015–2019 window — a +64% 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. Trustees of Tufts College's 17.6 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 Trustees of Tufts College against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
