Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 5 granted patents across 6 technology areas, active 2019–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: F01C (ROTARY-PISTON OR OSCILLATING-PISTON MACHINES OR ENGINES).
The verdict
FETU holds 5 US patents across 6 technology areas, rank #46,693 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
FETU Limited has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing FETU Limited at rank #46,693 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 6 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 25.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in F01C (ROTARY-PISTON OR OSCILLATING-PISTON MACHINES OR ENGINES). As a Foreign Corporation, FETU Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, FETU sits between FD IP & Licensing Llc (5 patents, rank #46,689) and Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (5 patents, rank #46,697) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 32.1/100 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 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +300% 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. FETU Limited's 25.8 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 6 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark FETU Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
FETU's 5 grants land it in the top 60% 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.
