USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 6 granted patents across 5 technology areas, active 2016–2019. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: C02F (TREATMENT OF WATER, WASTE WATER, SEWAGE, OR SLUDGE).
The verdict
Geann holds 6 US patents across 5 technology areas, rank #40,363 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Geann Industrial Co.,ltd. has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2016 and 2019, placing Geann Industrial Co.,ltd. at rank #40,363 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 7.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in C02F (TREATMENT OF WATER, WASTE WATER, SEWAGE, OR SLUDGE). As a Foreign Corporation, Geann Industrial Co.,ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Geann sits between GE Healthcare Dharmacon, Inc. (6 patents, rank #40,359) and Gencore Candeo, Ltd. (6 patents, rank #40,367) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 18.8/100 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 0 grants, compared with 6 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% 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. Geann Industrial Co.,ltd.'s 7.0 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 Geann Industrial Co.,ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Geann's 6 grants land it in the top 95% 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.
