The verdict
Institute holds 11 US patents across 11 technology areas, rank #24,566 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Institute Of Geology And Geophysics, CAS has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Institute Of Geology And Geophysics, CAS at rank #24,566 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES). As a Foreign Corporation, Institute Of Geology And Geophysics, CAS is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Institute sits between Insightra Medical, Inc. (11 patents, rank #24,562) and Intelligent Virus Imaging Inc. (11 patents, rank #24,570) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 45.6/100 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 10 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +900% 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. Institute Of Geology And Geophysics, CAS's 8.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Institute Of Geology And Geophysics, CAS against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Institute's 11 grants land it in the top 23% 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.
