The verdict
Hanon holds 758 US patents across 122 technology areas, rank #589 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Hanon Systems has been granted 758 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Hanon Systems at rank #589 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 122 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60H (ARRANGEMENTS OF HEATING, COOLING, VENTILATING OR OTHER AIR-TREATING DEVICES SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR PASSENGER OR GOODS SPACES OF VEHICLES). As a Foreign Corporation, Hanon Systems is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hanon sits between Medtronic Minimed, Inc. (769 patents, rank #585) and Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co., Ltd. (753 patents, rank #593) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 62.1/100 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 520 grants, compared with 238 in the 2015–2019 window, a +118% 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. Hanon Systems's 13.8 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 Hanon Systems against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Hanon's 758 grants land it in the top 3% 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.
