What this shows Hanwha LAND Systems Co., Ltd. stamps GRANTS-MICRO, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-THIN, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-DROP, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #19,852 of 50,000; Innovation Score 37.7/100 sits in the top 43% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Guangdong Confu Electrical Appliances Co., Ltd. (±0 grants).
Hanwha LAND Systems Co., Ltd. has been granted 14 US utility patents between 2017 and 2019, placing Hanwha LAND Systems Co., Ltd. at #19,852 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 28 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.0 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, Hanwha LAND Systems Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hanwha sits between Guangdong Confu Electrical Appliances Co., Ltd. (14 patents, rank #19,842) and HK Army Inc. (14 patents, rank #19,850) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 37.7/100 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. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 0 grants, compared with 14 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. 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. Hanwha LAND Systems Co., Ltd.'s 16.0 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 28 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
