Company patents
NATIONAL CHENG KUNG UNIVERSITY
National Cheng Kung University exhibits a surprisingly diversified patent strategy, with its largest category, Pharmaceutical Preparations, representing only 11.1% of its portfolio. While there's a notable emerging focus in Therapeutic Activity (Pharma), which saw an impressive 333.3% year-over-year growth in 2024, the university also shows shifting priorities with a significant decline in Batteries & Fuel Cells, experiencing a 100.0% drop so far in 2026.
