What this shows Qingdao Ecopure Filter Co., Ltd. stamps GRANTS-SMALL, UPPER-Q, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-NARROW, INNOV-THIN, CLAIMS-SPARSE, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-SURGE, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #5,623 of 50,000; Innovation Score 26.2/100 sits in the top 80% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is OP Solutions, Llc (±0 grants).
Qingdao Ecopure Filter Co., Ltd. has been granted 61 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing Qingdao Ecopure Filter Co., Ltd. at #5,623 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 2.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in B01D (SEPARATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Qingdao Ecopure Filter Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Qingdao sits between OP Solutions, Llc (61 patents, rank #5,617) and Ring Container Technologies, Llc (61 patents, rank #5,625) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 26.2/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 35 grants, compared with 20 in the 2015–2019 window, a +75% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Qingdao Ecopure Filter Co., Ltd.'s 2.6 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 5 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
