Portfolio overview

Ningde Amperex Technology Limited has been granted 326 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Ningde Amperex Technology Limited at rank #1,299 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 34 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01M (PROCESSES OR MEANS, e.g. BATTERIES, FOR THE DIRECT CONVERSION OF CHEMICAL ENERGY INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY). As a Foreign Corporation, Ningde Amperex Technology Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Ningde sits between Bayer Pharma Aktiengesellschaft (326 patents, rank #1,295) and Chugai Seiyaku Kabushiki Kaisha (325 patents, rank #1,303) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 63.5/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 294 grants, compared with 32 in the 2015–2019 window, a +819% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Ningde Amperex Technology Limited's 16.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 34 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Ningde Amperex Technology Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
