The verdict
Università holds 16 US patents across 31 technology areas, rank #18,240 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Università Degli Studi DI Cagliari has been granted 16 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Università Degli Studi DI Cagliari at rank #18,240 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 31 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a Foreign Corporation, Università Degli Studi DI Cagliari is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Università sits between Union Pacific Railroad Company (16 patents, rank #18,236) and Ulstein Design & Solutions AS (16 patents, rank #18,244) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.6/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 11 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a +120% 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. Università Degli Studi DI Cagliari's 17.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 31 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Università Degli Studi DI Cagliari against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Università's 16 grants land it in the top 33% 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.
