Portfolio overview

Yangzhou University has been granted 63 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Yangzhou University at rank #5,490 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 79 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, Yangzhou University is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Yangzhou sits between Valeo Japan Co., Ltd. (63 patents, rank #5,486) and Afiniti Europe Technologies Limited (62 patents, rank #5,494) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 64.4/100 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 59 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a +1375% 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. Yangzhou University's 8.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 79 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Yangzhou 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.
