Overall rank by patents
#16,221
of 50,000 tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 18 granted patents across 26 technology areas, recorded in grant years 2015–2025. Grant-trend analysis is cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search; it does not measure application filings, current R&D, or legal strength. Primary class: Y02E (REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS [GHG] EMISSIONS, RELATED TO ENERGY GENERATION, TRANSMISSION OR DISTRIBUTION).
The verdict
According to USPTO PatentsView, National ranks #16,221 of 50,000 tracked US assignees by granted-patent volume, with 18 patents across 26 technology areas.

What this shows National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center stamps GRANTS-MICRO, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-DOWN, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #16,221 of 50,000; Innovation Score 41.7/100 sits in the top 32% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Motiv Nv (±0 grants).
National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center has been granted 18 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center at #16,221 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 26 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02E (REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS [GHG] EMISSIONS, RELATED TO ENERGY GENERATION, TRANSMISSION OR DISTRIBUTION). As a Foreign Corporation, National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, National sits between Motiv Nv (18 patents, rank #16,210) and Neuronano AB (18 patents, rank #16,218) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.7/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 7 grants, compared with 10 in the 2015–2019 window, a -30% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center's 15.1 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 26 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
