Portfolio overview

University Of Fukui has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing University Of Fukui at rank #30,488 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in G02B (OPTICAL ELEMENTS, SYSTEMS OR APPARATUS). As a Foreign Corporation, University Of Fukui is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, University sits between Universidade Estadual Paulista “júlio De Mequita Filho”—unesp (9 patents, rank #30,484) and Universität Ulm (9 patents, rank #30,492) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 46.6/100 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. Historical data spans 2021 through 2025, with 9 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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 Fukui's 12.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark University Of Fukui against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

University's 9 grants land it in the top 20% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - University ranks #30,488 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in G02B - see who else leads that technology area. G02B leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
