What this shows Institute Of Optics And Electronics, Chinese Academy Of Sciences stamps GRANTS-SMALL, UPPER-Q, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-PAR, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-SURGE, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #8,613 of 50,000; Innovation Score 57.6/100 sits in the top 5% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is ILI Technology Corp. (±0 grants).
Institute Of Optics And Electronics, Chinese Academy Of Sciences has been granted 37 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Institute Of Optics And Electronics, Chinese Academy Of Sciences at #8,613 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 33 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in G02B (OPTICAL ELEMENTS, SYSTEMS OR APPARATUS). As a Foreign Corporation, Institute Of Optics And Electronics, Chinese Academy Of Sciences is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Institute sits between ILI Technology Corp. (37 patents, rank #8,610) and KE M.o.house Co., Ltd (37 patents, rank #8,618) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.6/100 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 22 grants, compared with 10 in the 2015–2019 window, a +120% 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. Institute Of Optics And Electronics, Chinese Academy Of Sciences's 11.5 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 33 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
