Portfolio overview

Nanjing Institute OF Environmental Sciences, Ministry OF Ecology AND Environment has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2022 and 2025, placing Nanjing Institute OF Environmental Sciences, Ministry OF Ecology AND Environment at rank #26,916 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 7.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES). As a Foreign Corporation, Nanjing Institute OF Environmental Sciences, Ministry OF Ecology AND Environment is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Nanjing sits between Mynosys Cellular Devices, Inc. (10 patents, rank #26,912) and Nanocarrier Co., Ltd. (10 patents, rank #26,920) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 45.8/100 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. Historical data spans 2022 through 2025, with 10 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Nanjing Institute OF Environmental Sciences, Ministry OF Ecology AND Environment's 7.1 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 14 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Nanjing Institute OF Environmental Sciences, Ministry OF Ecology AND Environment against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Nanjing's 10 grants land it in the top 22% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Nanjing ranks #26,916 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in G01N - see who else leads that technology area. G01N leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
