The verdict
Hanwha holds 71 US patents across 65 technology areas, rank #4,882 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Hanwha Aerospace Co., Ltd. has been granted 71 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing Hanwha Aerospace Co., Ltd. at rank #4,882 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 65 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in F05D (INDEXING SCHEME FOR ASPECTS RELATING TO NON-POSITIVE-DISPLACEMENT MACHINES OR ENGINES, GAS-TURBINES OR JET-PROPULSION PLANTS). As a Foreign Corporation, Hanwha Aerospace Co., Ltd. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hanwha sits between Freedom Scientific, Inc. (71 patents, rank #4,878) and Innoplexus Ag (71 patents, rank #4,886) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 52.2/100 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 39 grants, compared with 32 in the 2015–2019 window, a +22% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Hanwha Aerospace Co., Ltd.'s 13.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 65 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Hanwha Aerospace Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Hanwha's 71 grants land it in the top 10% 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.
