GREE Electric Appliances (wuhan) Co., Ltd has been granted 59 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing GREE Electric Appliances (wuhan) Co., Ltd at #5,765 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 59 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in F24F (AIR-CONDITIONING; AIR-HUMIDIFICATION; VENTILATION; USE OF AIR CURRENTS FOR SCREENING). As a Foreign Corporation, GREE Electric Appliances (wuhan) Co., Ltd is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, GREE sits between Flexenable Limited (59 patents, rank #5,759) and Harting Electronics Gmbh (59 patents, rank #5,767) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 66.6/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 59 total grants over that period. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. GREE Electric Appliances (wuhan) Co., Ltd's 13.9 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 59 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
