Portfolio overview

Universidade Federal DE Santa Catarina has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Universidade Federal DE Santa Catarina at rank #25,442 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 20 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in B22F (WORKING METALLIC POWDER; MANUFACTURE OF ARTICLES FROM METALLIC POWDER; MAKING METALLIC POWDER ; APPARATUS OR DEVICES SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR METALLIC POWDER). As a Foreign Corporation, Universidade Federal DE Santa Catarina is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Universidade sits between Uniform Industrial Corp. (11 patents, rank #25,438) and UST Global (singapore) Pte. Limited (11 patents, rank #25,446) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 32.4/100 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 4 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a -43% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Universidade Federal DE Santa Catarina's 10.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 20 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Universidade Federal DE Santa Catarina 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.
