USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 7 granted patents across 1 technology areas, active 2021–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: B62B (HAND-PROPELLED VEHICLES, e.g. HAND CARTS OR PERAMBULATORS; SLEDGES).
The verdict
Ningbo holds 7 US patents across 1 technology areas, rank #36,625 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Ningbo Meiqi TOOL Co., Ltd. has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing Ningbo Meiqi TOOL Co., Ltd. at rank #36,625 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 1 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 2.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in B62B (HAND-PROPELLED VEHICLES, e.g. HAND CARTS OR PERAMBULATORS; SLEDGES). As a Foreign Corporation, Ningbo Meiqi TOOL Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Ningbo sits between Ningbo Chima Winch Co., Ltd. (7 patents, rank #36,621) and Ningbo Xuanhua Electric Co., Ltd. (7 patents, rank #36,629) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 18.8/100 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 2021 through 2025, with 7 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 Meiqi TOOL Co., Ltd.'s 2.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 1 subclass reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Ningbo Meiqi TOOL Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Ningbo's 7 grants land it in the top 95% 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.
