USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 91 granted patents across 18 technology areas, active 2017–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A24F (SMOKERS' REQUISITES; MATCH BOXES; SIMULATED SMOKING DEVICES).
The verdict
Joyetech holds 91 US patents across 18 technology areas, rank #3,972 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Joyetech Europe Holding Gmbh has been granted 91 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Joyetech Europe Holding Gmbh at rank #3,972 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 18 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in A24F (SMOKERS' REQUISITES; MATCH BOXES; SIMULATED SMOKING DEVICES). As a Foreign Corporation, Joyetech Europe Holding Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Joyetech sits between Hover Inc. (91 patents, rank #3,968) and Ludwig Institute FOR Cancer Research Ltd (91 patents, rank #3,976) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 36.9/100 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 39 grants, compared with 52 in the 2015–2019 window, a -25% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Joyetech Europe Holding Gmbh's 8.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 18 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Joyetech Europe Holding Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Joyetech's 91 grants land it in the top 45% 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.
