Portfolio overview

Ningbo Geely Automobile Research & Dev. Co., Ltd. has been granted 66 US utility patents between 2024 and 2025, placing Ningbo Geely Automobile Research & Dev. Co., Ltd. at rank #5,236 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 66 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60R (VEHICLES, VEHICLE FITTINGS, OR VEHICLE PARTS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Ningbo Geely Automobile Research & Dev. Co., Ltd. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Ningbo sits between Mobius Imaging, Llc (66 patents, rank #5,232) and Photonics Electronics Technology Research Association (66 patents, rank #5,240) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 68.4/100 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 2024 through 2025, with 66 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. Ningbo Geely Automobile Research & Dev. Co., Ltd.'s 14.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 66 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Ningbo Geely Automobile Research & Dev. Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
