The verdict
University-industry holds 488 US patents across 151 technology areas, rank #916 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
University-industry Cooperation Group OF Kyung HEE University has been granted 488 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing University-industry Cooperation Group OF Kyung HEE University at rank #916 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 151 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04N (PICTORIAL COMMUNICATION, e.g. TELEVISION). As a Foreign Corporation, University-industry Cooperation Group OF Kyung HEE University is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, University-industry sits between Omachron Intellectual Property Inc. (491 patents, rank #912) and Rhodia Operations (484 patents, rank #920) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.8/100 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 295 grants, compared with 193 in the 2015–2019 window, a +53% 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. University-industry Cooperation Group OF Kyung HEE 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 University-industry Cooperation Group OF Kyung HEE University against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
University-industry's 488 grants land it in the top 5% 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.
