USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 10 granted patents across 27 technology areas, active 2020–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G06N (COMPUTING ARRANGEMENTS BASED ON SPECIFIC COMPUTATIONAL MODELS).
The verdict
Shanghai holds 10 US patents across 27 technology areas, rank #27,318 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Shanghai Maritime University has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Shanghai Maritime University at rank #27,318 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 27 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 7.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06N (COMPUTING ARRANGEMENTS BASED ON SPECIFIC COMPUTATIONAL MODELS). As a Foreign Corporation, Shanghai Maritime University is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Shanghai sits between Shandong Danhong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (10 patents, rank #27,314) and Shenzhen BELL Creative Science AND Education Co., Ltd. (10 patents, rank #27,322) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.3/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 10 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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 Maritime University's 7.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 27 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Shanghai Maritime University against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Shanghai's 10 grants land it in the top 12% 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.
