Portfolio overview

Jinko Solar Co., Ltd. has been granted 98 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Jinko Solar Co., Ltd. at rank #3,704 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 16 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in H10F (INORGANIC SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES SENSITIVE TO INFRARED RADIATION, LIGHT, ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION OF SHORTER WAVELENGTH OR CORPUSCULAR RADIATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Jinko Solar Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Jinko sits between Delta T, Llc (98 patents, rank #3,700) and Point Engineering Co., Ltd. (98 patents, rank #3,708) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 60.2/100 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 97 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +9600% 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. Jinko Solar Co., Ltd.'s 16.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 16 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Jinko Solar Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
