What this shows Henan Polytechnic University stamps GRANTS-MICRO, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-THIN, CLAIMS-SPARSE, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-SURGE, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #18,711 of 50,000; Innovation Score 34.4/100 sits in the top 52% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Hawkeye 360, Inc. (±0 grants).
Henan Polytechnic University has been granted 15 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Henan Polytechnic University at #18,711 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 24 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 6.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in E21D (SHAFTS; TUNNELS; GALLERIES; LARGE UNDERGROUND CHAMBERS). As a Foreign Corporation, Henan Polytechnic University is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Henan sits between Hawkeye 360, Inc. (15 patents, rank #18,718) and Hexcelpack, Llc (15 patents, rank #18,726) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 34.4/100 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 10 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +900% 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. Henan Polytechnic University's 6.1 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 24 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
