What this shows Universidad DE Sevilla stamps GRANTS-MICRO, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-THIN, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-DROP, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #17,315 of 50,000; Innovation Score 38.4/100 sits in the top 41% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is UNIK World Industrial Co., Ltd. (±0 grants).
Universidad DE Sevilla has been granted 17 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Universidad DE Sevilla at #17,315 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 24 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in B01J (CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROCESSES, e.g. CATALYSIS OR COLLOID CHEMISTRY; THEIR RELEVANT APPARATUS). As a Foreign Corporation, Universidad DE Sevilla is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Universidad sits between UNIK World Industrial Co., Ltd. (17 patents, rank #17,306) and Universite DES Sciences ET Technologies DE Lille 1 (17 patents, rank #17,314) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 38.4/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 5 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window, a -55% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Universidad DE Sevilla's 13.0 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 24 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
