Portfolio overview

Baidu Online Network Technology (beijing) Co., Ltd. has been granted 916 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Baidu Online Network Technology (beijing) Co., Ltd. at rank #484 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 73 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, Baidu Online Network Technology (beijing) Co., Ltd. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Baidu sits between Eaton Corporation (924 patents, rank #480) and Research & Business Foundation Sungkyunkwan University (914 patents, rank #488) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 60.4/100 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 712 grants, compared with 204 in the 2015–2019 window, a +249% 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. Baidu Online Network Technology (beijing) Co., Ltd.'s 14.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 73 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Baidu Online Network Technology (beijing) Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
