The verdict
NINE holds 5 US patents across 13 technology areas, rank #49,024 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
NINE Intelligent (changzhou) TECH Co., Ltd. has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2021 and 2023, placing NINE Intelligent (changzhou) TECH Co., Ltd. at rank #49,024 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in B62J (CYCLE SADDLES OR SEATS; AUXILIARY DEVICES OR ACCESSORIES SPECIALLY ADAPTED TO CYCLES AND NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR, e.g. ARTICLE CARRIERS OR CYCLE PROTECTORS). As a Foreign Corporation, NINE Intelligent (changzhou) TECH Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, NINE sits between Nightware, Inc. (5 patents, rank #49,020) and Ningbo Motorman E-commerce Co., Ltd. (5 patents, rank #49,028) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.9/100 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. Historical data spans 2021 through 2023, 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. NINE Intelligent (changzhou) TECH Co., Ltd.'s 16.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 13 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark NINE Intelligent (changzhou) TECH Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
NINE's 5 grants land it in the top 16% 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.
