The verdict
Changjiang holds 5 US patents across 9 technology areas, rank #45,503 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Changjiang Survey Planning Design AND Research Co., Ltd. has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2018 and 2020, placing Changjiang Survey Planning Design AND Research Co., Ltd. at rank #45,503 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 9 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in G21C (NUCLEAR REACTORS). As a Foreign Corporation, Changjiang Survey Planning Design AND Research Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Changjiang sits between Champtek Incorporated (5 patents, rank #45,499) and Charabot (5 patents, rank #45,507) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 23.2/100 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 1 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a -75% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Changjiang Survey Planning Design AND Research Co., Ltd.'s 10.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 9 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Changjiang Survey Planning Design AND Research Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Changjiang's 5 grants land it in the top 88% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
