Portfolio overview
CHINA MOBILE COMMUNICATION CO., LTD RESEARCH INSTITUTE has been granted 116 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing CHINA MOBILE COMMUNICATION CO., LTD RESEARCH INSTITUTE at rank #3,223 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04W (WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS). As a Foreign Corporation, CHINA MOBILE COMMUNICATION CO., LTD RESEARCH INSTITUTE is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 58.5/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 116 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.
