The verdict
Università holds 6 US patents across 11 technology areas, rank #43,843 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Università Della Svizzera Italiana (usi) has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2018 and 2024, placing Università Della Svizzera Italiana (usi) at rank #43,843 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, Università Della Svizzera Italiana (usi) is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Università sits between University Of Tehran (6 patents, rank #43,839) and Upskill, Inc. (6 patents, rank #43,847) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.1/100 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 4 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +100% 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. Università Della Svizzera Italiana (usi)'s 21.2 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Università Della Svizzera Italiana (usi) against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Università's 6 grants land it in the top 34% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
