USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 6 granted patents across 5 technology areas, active 2017–2022. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION).
The verdict
Shandong holds 6 US patents across 5 technology areas, rank #42,808 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Shandong Institute OF Quantum Science AND Technology Co., Ltd. has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2017 and 2022, placing Shandong Institute OF Quantum Science AND Technology Co., Ltd. at rank #42,808 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Shandong Institute OF Quantum Science AND Technology Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Shandong sits between SFI Electronics Technology Inc. (6 patents, rank #42,804) and Shang HAI PAN SHI TOU ZI GUAN LI YOU XIAN GONG SI (6 patents, rank #42,812) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 38.3/100 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 3 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +0% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Shandong Institute OF Quantum Science AND Technology Co., Ltd.'s 17.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 5 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Shandong Institute OF Quantum Science AND Technology Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Shandong's 6 grants land it in the top 41% 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.
