The verdict
Yissum holds 329 US patents across 120 technology areas, rank #1,289 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Yissum Research Development Company OF THE Hebrew University OF Jerusalem Ltd. has been granted 329 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Yissum Research Development Company OF THE Hebrew University OF Jerusalem Ltd. at rank #1,289 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 120 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a Foreign Corporation, Yissum Research Development Company OF THE Hebrew University OF Jerusalem Ltd. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Yissum sits between MARY KAY Inc (329 patents, rank #1,285) and Medimmune Limited (327 patents, rank #1,293) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 58.3/100 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 142 grants, compared with 187 in the 2015–2019 window, a -24% 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. Yissum Research Development Company OF THE Hebrew University OF Jerusalem Ltd.'s 15.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Yissum Research Development Company OF THE Hebrew University OF Jerusalem Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Yissum's 329 grants land it in the top 5% 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.
