The verdict
Research holds 6 US patents across 7 technology areas, rank #42,566 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Research Institute OF Nanjing Chemical Industry Group has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2015 and 2019, placing Research Institute OF Nanjing Chemical Industry Group at rank #42,566 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 7 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in B01D (SEPARATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Research Institute OF Nanjing Chemical Industry Group is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Research sits between Repnow Inc. (6 patents, rank #42,562) and Rextac, Llc (6 patents, rank #42,570) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 25.6/100 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 0 grants, compared with 6 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Research Institute OF Nanjing Chemical Industry Group's 15.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 7 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Research Institute OF Nanjing Chemical Industry Group against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Research's 6 grants land it in the top 82% 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.
