Portfolio overview

UTAH State University has been granted 114 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing UTAH State University at rank #3,292 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 86 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in H02J (CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENTS OR SYSTEMS FOR SUPPLYING OR DISTRIBUTING ELECTRIC POWER; SYSTEMS FOR STORING ELECTRIC ENERGY). As a US Corporation, UTAH State University is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, UTAH sits between Osterhout Group, Inc. (114 patents, rank #3,288) and Yokowo Co., Ltd. (114 patents, rank #3,296) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 59.1/100 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 63 grants, compared with 51 in the 2015–2019 window, a +24% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. The US 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. UTAH State University's 17.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 86 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark UTAH State University against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
