The verdict
Haier holds 1,829 US patents across 180 technology areas, rank #221 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Haier US Appliance Solutions, Inc. has been granted 1,829 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Haier US Appliance Solutions, Inc. at rank #221 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 180 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in D06F (LAUNDERING, DRYING, IRONING, PRESSING OR FOLDING TEXTILE ARTICLES). As a US Corporation, Haier US Appliance Solutions, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Haier sits between Compagnie Generale DES Etablissements Michelin (1,844 patents, rank #217) and Safran Aircraft Engines (1,805 patents, rank #225) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 67.6/100 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 1,223 grants, compared with 606 in the 2015–2019 window, a +102% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The US 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. Haier US Appliance Solutions, Inc.'s 16.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Haier US Appliance Solutions, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Haier's 1,829 grants land it in the top 1% 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.
