How many patents does Wright State University hold?

Wright State University holds 22 US utility patents granted between 2015 and 2025, spanning 36 technology areas.

What is Wright State University's Innovation Score?

Wright State University has an Innovation Score of 47.0 out of 100 (top 19% of the corpus). This composite metric weighs portfolio volume (40%), grant velocity (20%), technology breadth (25%), and claim depth (15%).

What technology areas does Wright State University focus on?

Wright State University's top technology area is G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties) with 7 patents, ranking #2,018 of 7,863 assignees active in that subclass. Grants appear in 36 CPC subclasses total.

Is Wright State University's patent grant rate increasing or decreasing?

Wright State University's recent grant velocity is -50% compared to the prior five-year period (grant years, not application filing dates). Grant activity has slowed relative to earlier years.

What does claim depth mean for Wright State University's patents?

Wright State University's patents average 15.7 claims each. This is an aggregate descriptive count from the grant record; it does not establish claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk.

How is the Wright State University patent data sourced?

All patent data comes from USPTO PatentsView, a public research dataset maintained by the United States Patent and Trademark Office covering US granted utility patents from 2015 to 2025.

What this shows Wright's Innovation Score is 47.0/100 (top 19% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Wright?

Each dot is one of Wright’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Wright’s own 15.7 claims/patent is at or below the 17.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Wright's grants concentrate

Wright State University is a focused PatentsView assignee: 36 CPC subclasses with 31.8% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Wright sits between Willo 32 SAS and Xiamen Legenda Electronic Technology Company Limited.

Wright's three-year grant acceleration

Wright State University shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
