Company patents
JIANGNAN UNIVERSITY
JIANGNAN UNIVERSITY's patent strategy reveals a strong, albeit fluctuating, focus on pharma_biotech, with 'Fermentation & Biosynthesis' making up 22.7% of its portfolio. While 'Fermentation & Biosynthesis' saw a remarkable 168.8% YoY growth in 2024, it has since declined, and the university appears to be shifting priorities away from 'Foods & Beverages,' which has seen consistent declines, including a -23.5% YoY drop in 2024 and -7.7% in 2025.
