What this shows Hunan SANY Intelligent Control Equipment Co., Ltd. stamps GRANTS-MICRO, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-THIN, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-DROP, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #18,735 of 50,000; Innovation Score 33.0/100 sits in the top 57% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Hitachi Zosen Inova Ag (±0 grants).
Hunan SANY Intelligent Control Equipment Co., Ltd. has been granted 15 US utility patents between 2015 and 2018, placing Hunan SANY Intelligent Control Equipment Co., Ltd. at #18,735 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 19 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in B66C (CRANES; LOAD-ENGAGING ELEMENTS OR DEVICES FOR CRANES, CAPSTANS, WINCHES, OR TACKLES). As a Foreign Corporation, Hunan SANY Intelligent Control Equipment Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hunan sits between Hitachi Zosen Inova Ag (15 patents, rank #18,704) and Hyundai Mnsoft, Inc. (15 patents, rank #18,712) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 33.0/100 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 15 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. Hunan SANY Intelligent Control Equipment Co., Ltd.'s 13.4 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 19 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
