Portfolio overview

UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF CHINA has been granted 71 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF CHINA at rank #4,924 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 70 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04N (PICTORIAL COMMUNICATION, e.g. TELEVISION). As a Foreign Corporation, UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF CHINA is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 54.9/100 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 51 grants, compared with 20 in the 2015–2019 window — a +155% 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 OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF CHINA's 14.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 70 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF CHINA against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

University's 71 grants land it in the top 7% 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 #4,924 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in H04N — see who else leads that technology area. H04N 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.
