The verdict
Computer holds 9 US patents across 5 technology areas, rank #28,391 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Computer Network Information Center, Chinese Academy OF Sciences has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Computer Network Information Center, Chinese Academy OF Sciences at rank #28,391 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, Computer Network Information Center, Chinese Academy OF Sciences is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Computer sits between Codiak Biosciences, Inc. (9 patents, rank #28,387) and Convenientpower HK Limited (9 patents, rank #28,395) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 42.1/100 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 4 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a -20% 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. Computer Network Information Center, Chinese Academy OF Sciences's 10.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 5 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Computer Network Information Center, Chinese Academy OF Sciences against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Computer's 9 grants land it in the top 31% 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.
