USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 9 granted patents across 4 technology areas, active 2022–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION).
The verdict
Hunan holds 9 US patents across 4 technology areas, rank #28,957 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Hunan Vathin Medical Instrument Co., Ltd. has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2022 and 2025, placing Hunan Vathin Medical Instrument Co., Ltd. at rank #28,957 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Hunan Vathin Medical Instrument Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hunan sits between HUA HONG Semiconductor (wuxi) Limited (9 patents, rank #28,953) and Hydac Filter Systems Gmbh (9 patents, rank #28,961) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 40.3/100 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. Historical data spans 2022 through 2025, with 9 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Hunan Vathin Medical Instrument Co., Ltd.'s 8.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 4 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Hunan Vathin Medical Instrument Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Hunan's 9 grants land it in the top 36% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
