Portfolio overview

SHANGHAI INSTITUTE OF CERAMICS, CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES has been granted 39 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing SHANGHAI INSTITUTE OF CERAMICS, CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES at rank #8,279 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 36 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in C04B (LIME, MAGNESIA; SLAG; CEMENTS; COMPOSITIONS THEREOF, e.g. MORTARS, CONCRETE OR LIKE BUILDING MATERIALS; ARTIFICIAL STONE ; CERAMICS ; REFRACTORIES; TREATMENT OF NATURAL STONE). As a Foreign Corporation, SHANGHAI INSTITUTE OF CERAMICS, CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 48.7/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 25 grants, compared with 14 in the 2015–2019 window — a +79% 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. SHANGHAI INSTITUTE OF CERAMICS, CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES's 11.5 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 36 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark SHANGHAI INSTITUTE OF CERAMICS, CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
