The verdict
University holds 96 US patents across 80 technology areas, rank #3,790 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
University Of Seoul Industry Cooperation Foundation has been granted 96 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing University Of Seoul Industry Cooperation Foundation at rank #3,790 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 80 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, University Of Seoul Industry Cooperation Foundation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, University sits between TRW Automotive U.s. Llc (96 patents, rank #3,786) and Wix.com Ltd. (96 patents, rank #3,794) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 53.4/100 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 53 grants, compared with 43 in the 2015–2019 window, a +23% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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 Seoul Industry Cooperation Foundation's 11.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 80 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark University Of Seoul Industry Cooperation Foundation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
University's 96 grants land it in the top 9% 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.
