Portfolio overview

Apollo Intelligent Driving Technology (beijing) Co., Ltd. has been granted 146 US utility patents between 2022 and 2025, placing Apollo Intelligent Driving Technology (beijing) Co., Ltd. at rank #2,651 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 35 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60W (CONJOINT CONTROL OF VEHICLE SUB-UNITS OF DIFFERENT TYPE OR DIFFERENT FUNCTION; CONTROL SYSTEMS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR HYBRID VEHICLES; ROAD VEHICLE DRIVE CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR PURPOSES NOT RELATED TO THE). As a Foreign Corporation, Apollo Intelligent Driving Technology (beijing) Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Apollo sits between Medtronic Cryocath Lp (147 patents, rank #2,647) and Brita Lp (146 patents, rank #2,655) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 66.9/100 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. Historical data spans 2022 through 2025, with 146 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Apollo Intelligent Driving Technology (beijing) Co., Ltd.'s 14.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 35 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Apollo Intelligent Driving Technology (beijing) Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Apollo's 146 grants land it in the top 1% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Apollo ranks #2,651 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in B60W - see who else leads that technology area. B60W leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
