Portfolio overview
China Internet Network Information Center has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2017 and 2024, placing China Internet Network Information Center at rank #34,675 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a Foreign Corporation, China Internet Network Information Center is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, China sits between Chengdu Idealsee Technology Co., Ltd. (7 patents, rank #34,671) and Choral Systems, Llc (7 patents, rank #34,679) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 39.4/100 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 6 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +500% 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. China Internet Network Information Center's 8.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 4 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark China Internet Network Information Center against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
China's 7 grants land it in the top 38% 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 #34,675 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
- Most of this portfolio concentrates in H04L - see who else leads that technology area. H04L 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.
