Portfolio overview
CHINA AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY AND RESEARCH CENTER CO., LTD has been granted 32 US utility patents between 2023 and 2025, placing CHINA AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY AND RESEARCH CENTER CO., LTD at rank #9,730 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 30 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 7.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in G09B (EDUCATIONAL OR DEMONSTRATION APPLIANCES; APPLIANCES FOR TEACHING, OR COMMUNICATING WITH, THE BLIND, DEAF OR MUTE; MODELS; PLANETARIA; GLOBES; MAPS; DIAGRAMS). As a Foreign Corporation, CHINA AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY AND RESEARCH CENTER CO., LTD is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 56.0/100 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 2023 through 2025, with 32 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. CHINA AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY AND RESEARCH CENTER CO., LTD's 7.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 30 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark CHINA AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY AND RESEARCH CENTER CO., LTD against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
China's 32 grants land it in the top 6% 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 - China ranks #9,730 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
- Most of this portfolio concentrates in G09B - see who else leads that technology area. G09B 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.
