UNIVERSITY OF EXETER

UNIVERSITY OF EXETER has been granted 25 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing UNIVERSITY OF EXETER at rank #12,283 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 37 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a Foreign Corporation, UNIVERSITY OF EXETER is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 47.1/100 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 10 grants, compared with 15 in the 2015–2019 window — a -33% 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. UNIVERSITY OF EXETER's 14.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 37 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark UNIVERSITY OF EXETER against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
