Portfolio overview

Research Institute OF Petroleum Processing, Sinopec has been granted 120 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Research Institute OF Petroleum Processing, Sinopec at rank #3,142 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 38 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in B01J (CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROCESSES, e.g. CATALYSIS OR COLLOID CHEMISTRY; THEIR RELEVANT APPARATUS). As a Foreign Corporation, Research Institute OF Petroleum Processing, Sinopec is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Research sits between Mythical, Inc. (120 patents, rank #3,138) and THE Trustees OF Indiana University (120 patents, rank #3,146) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 61.1/100 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 80 grants, compared with 40 in the 2015–2019 window, a +100% 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. Research Institute OF Petroleum Processing, Sinopec's 19.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 38 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Research Institute OF Petroleum Processing, Sinopec against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
