Portfolio overview

Harbin Institute OF Technology has been granted 158 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Harbin Institute OF Technology at rank #2,474 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 129 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01B (MEASURING LENGTH, THICKNESS OR SIMILAR LINEAR DIMENSIONS; MEASURING ANGLES; MEASURING AREAS; MEASURING IRREGULARITIES OF SURFACES OR CONTOURS). As a Foreign Corporation, Harbin Institute OF Technology is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Harbin sits between C.r.f. Societa' Consortile PER Azioni (158 patents, rank #2,470) and Tadano Ltd. (158 patents, rank #2,478) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 61.4/100 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 119 grants, compared with 39 in the 2015–2019 window, a +205% 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. Harbin Institute OF Technology's 8.5 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, 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 Harbin Institute OF Technology against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Harbin's 158 grants land it in the top 3% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Harbin ranks #2,474 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in G01B - see who else leads that technology area. G01B leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
