#1,575
Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record — 262 granted patents across 57 technology areas, active 2018–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: B64U (UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES [UAV]; EQUIPMENT THEREFOR).
AUTEL ROBOTICS CO., LTD. has been granted 262 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing AUTEL ROBOTICS CO., LTD. at rank #1,575 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 57 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in B64U (UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES [UAV]; EQUIPMENT THEREFOR). As a Foreign Corporation, AUTEL ROBOTICS CO., LTD. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 61.5/100 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 232 grants, compared with 30 in the 2015–2019 window — a +673% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. AUTEL ROBOTICS CO., LTD.'s 12.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 57 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark AUTEL ROBOTICS CO., LTD. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
