Institute patent quality
Data as of 13 Oct 2026Methodology
Educational institutes ranked by a quality score, not raw volume. Many private universities file thousands of patents they never push through examination - the score separates real research IP from paperwork by weighting grant rate, whether examination was actually requested, and claim depth.

Quality, not filing volume

Why this page exists - and how to read it
Institutes file a large share of India's domestic patents, but volume rewards paperwork: some of the biggest filers grant almost nothing and never request examination. The quality score (0–100) blends grant rate, examination-requested share and claim depth so the ranking reflects IP that survives, not filing counts.
- Investors
- High-quality institutes are the real sources of licensable IP and spinout deal flow - the score filters out volume farms.
- Corporate & R&D
- Pick research partners by who produces IP that actually gets granted in your field, not who files most - open a profile for its technology mix.
- Policy & TTO
- The quality score is the benchmark: filing counts alone incentivise volume over quality, and this exposes exactly where that happens.

The ranking lists the top 500 institutes, for every visitor and every plan. Change the sort to see a different top 500. A full ranked list around your own question is a custom patent study.
Quality score (0–100) = 40% grant rate + 35% examination-requested share + 25% claim depth (average claims per patent, capped at 12). "Exam req." is the share of the portfolio that actually requested examination - filings left to lapse without a request are excluded. A low score next to a large portfolio flags volume filing that never survives examination. Rate-based rankings (Quality, Grant rate) require 20+ filings so a tiny outlier can't top the list.
Attribution is by patent assignee record (educational assignees). A jointly-owned patent is credited to each co-owner, so a collaboration counts for every institute on it. "Lapsed" = abandoned, withdrawn, deemed-withdrawn or refused; "Pending" = awaiting examination or in prosecution.
Rankings use patent-registry status (grant rate, examination, claim depth) as a quality proxy - directional, not advice; see methodology. Read the ranking methodology →
Patent coverage: 4,84,093 applications, 84.4% filed 2022 onward, 96% carry AI-generated technology tags. Earlier records, back to 2004, are largely granted cases, so pre-2022 years show survivors rather than full filing volume.
