Portfolio overview
NIO TECHNOLOGY (ANHUI) CO., LTD has been granted 164 US utility patents between 2022 and 2025, placing NIO TECHNOLOGY (ANHUI) CO., LTD at rank #2,382 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 59 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60W (CONJOINT CONTROL OF VEHICLE SUB-UNITS OF DIFFERENT TYPE OR DIFFERENT FUNCTION; CONTROL SYSTEMS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR HYBRID VEHICLES; ROAD VEHICLE DRIVE CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR PURPOSES NOT RELATED TO THE). As a Foreign Corporation, NIO TECHNOLOGY (ANHUI) CO., LTD is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 68.7/100 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 2022 through 2025, with 164 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. NIO TECHNOLOGY (ANHUI) CO., LTD's 10.1 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 59 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark NIO TECHNOLOGY (ANHUI) CO., LTD against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
