Portfolio overview

GUANGZHOU AUTOMOBILE GROUP CO., LTD. has been granted 105 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing GUANGZHOU AUTOMOBILE GROUP CO., LTD. at rank #3,496 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 50 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60W (CONJOINT CONTROL OF VEHICLE SUB-UNITS OF DIFFERENT TYPE OR DIFFERENT FUNCTION; CONTROL SYSTEMS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR HYBRID VEHICLES; ROAD VEHICLE DRIVE CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR PURPOSES NOT RELATED TO THE). As a Foreign Corporation, GUANGZHOU AUTOMOBILE GROUP CO., LTD. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 60.3/100 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 100 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window — a +1900% 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. GUANGZHOU AUTOMOBILE GROUP CO., LTD.'s 12.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 50 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark GUANGZHOU AUTOMOBILE GROUP CO., LTD. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Guangzhou's 105 grants land it in the top 3% by Innovation Score — but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance — Guangzhou ranks #3,496 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in B60W — see who else leads that technology area. B60W leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
