The verdict
University holds 7 US patents across 12 technology areas, rank #38,111 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
University Of Zagreb, Faculty Of Electrical Engineering And Computing has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing University Of Zagreb, Faculty Of Electrical Engineering And Computing at rank #38,111 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04B (TRANSMISSION). As a Foreign Corporation, University Of Zagreb, Faculty Of Electrical Engineering And Computing is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, University sits between University Of Northern Iowa Research Foundation (7 patents, rank #38,107) and Ushur, Inc. (7 patents, rank #38,115) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 33.7/100 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 3 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a -25% 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 Zagreb, Faculty Of Electrical Engineering And Computing's 12.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark University Of Zagreb, Faculty Of Electrical Engineering And Computing against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
University's 7 grants land it in the top 55% 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.
