Portfolio overview

National Engineering Research Centre OF Ruike RARE Earth Metallurgy AND Function Materials Co, Ltd. has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing National Engineering Research Centre OF Ruike RARE Earth Metallurgy AND Function Materials Co, Ltd. at rank #48,963 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 6.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in C22C (ALLOYS). As a Foreign Corporation, National Engineering Research Centre OF Ruike RARE Earth Metallurgy AND Function Materials Co, Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, National sits between NAQI Logics, Llc (5 patents, rank #48,959) and National Research Institute OF Chinese Medicine, Ministry OF Health AND Welfare (5 patents, rank #48,967) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.5/100 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 2021 through 2025, with 5 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. National Engineering Research Centre OF Ruike RARE Earth Metallurgy AND Function Materials Co, Ltd.'s 6.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark National Engineering Research Centre OF Ruike RARE Earth Metallurgy AND Function Materials Co, Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
