Portfolio overview
Hanwha Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. has been granted 13 US utility patents between 2019 and 2021, placing Hanwha Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. at rank #21,209 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in G05B (CONTROL OR REGULATING SYSTEMS IN GENERAL; FUNCTIONAL ELEMENTS OF SUCH SYSTEMS; MONITORING OR TESTING ARRANGEMENTS FOR SUCH SYSTEMS OR ELEMENTS). As a Foreign Corporation, Hanwha Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 32.3/100 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 6 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a -14% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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 Precision Machinery Co., Ltd.'s 15.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 15 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Hanwha Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
