USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 5 granted patents across 7 technology areas, active 2016–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A45B (WALKING STICKS ; UMBRELLAS; LADIES' OR LIKE FANS).
The verdict
Linhai holds 5 US patents across 7 technology areas, rank #48,463 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Linhai Zhongtian Electronic Appliance Co.,ltd has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Linhai Zhongtian Electronic Appliance Co.,ltd at rank #48,463 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 7 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 7.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A45B (WALKING STICKS ; UMBRELLAS; LADIES' OR LIKE FANS). As a Foreign Corporation, Linhai Zhongtian Electronic Appliance Co.,ltd is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Linhai sits between Lindauer Dornier Gesellschaft Mbh (5 patents, rank #48,459) and Lite Guard Safety Solutions Pty. (5 patents, rank #48,467) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 26.9/100 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 2 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a -33% 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. Linhai Zhongtian Electronic Appliance Co.,ltd's 7.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 7 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Linhai Zhongtian Electronic Appliance Co.,ltd against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Linhai's 5 grants land it in the top 78% 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.
