The verdict
East holds 94 US patents across 89 technology areas, rank #3,838 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
East China University Of Science And Technology has been granted 94 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing East China University Of Science And Technology at rank #3,838 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 89 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES). As a Foreign Corporation, East China University Of Science And Technology is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, East sits between Butamax Advanced Biofuels Llc (94 patents, rank #3,834) and Hitachi-johnson Controls Air Conditioning, Inc. (94 patents, rank #3,842) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 56.1/100 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 52 grants, compared with 42 in the 2015–2019 window, a +24% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. East China University Of Science And Technology's 11.5 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 89 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark East China University Of Science And Technology against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
East's 94 grants land it in the top 6% 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.
