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. By volume, China sits between Angel Playing Cards Co., Ltd. (116 patents, rank #3,219) and Hach Company (116 patents, rank #3,227) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. 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.

Claim depth and technology breadth together indicate competitive posture. China Mobile Communication Co., Ltd Research Institute's 15.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 13 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark China Mobile Communication Co., Ltd Research Institute against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

China's 116 grants land it in the top 4% 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 #3,223 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in H04W - see who else leads that technology area. H04W 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.
