Portfolio overview

University Of Florida Research Foundation, Inc. has been granted 1,362 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing University Of Florida Research Foundation, Inc. at rank #314 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 281 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a US Corporation, University Of Florida Research Foundation, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, University sits between Macronix International Co., Ltd. (1,381 patents, rank #310) and Exxonmobil Chemical Patents Inc. (1,350 patents, rank #318) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 66.5/100 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 807 grants, compared with 555 in the 2015–2019 window, a +45% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. The US 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 Florida Research Foundation, Inc.'s 17.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, 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 Of Florida Research Foundation, Inc. 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.
