Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 10 granted patents across 11 technology areas, active 2016–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: Y02E (REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS [GHG] EMISSIONS, RELATED TO ENERGY GENERATION, TRANSMISSION OR DISTRIBUTION).
The verdict
Shanghai holds 10 US patents across 11 technology areas, rank #27,319 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Shanghai Nuclear Engineering Research & Design Institute Co., Ltd. has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Shanghai Nuclear Engineering Research & Design Institute Co., Ltd. at rank #27,319 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02E (REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS [GHG] EMISSIONS, RELATED TO ENERGY GENERATION, TRANSMISSION OR DISTRIBUTION). As a Foreign Corporation, Shanghai Nuclear Engineering Research & Design Institute Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Shanghai sits between Shanghai Air-paq Composite Material Co., Ltd. (10 patents, rank #27,315) and Shenzhen Buddy Technology Development Co., Ltd. (10 patents, rank #27,323) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 32.9/100 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 7 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +133% 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 Nuclear Engineering Research & Design Institute Co., Ltd.'s 10.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Shanghai Nuclear Engineering Research & Design Institute Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Shanghai's 10 grants land it in the top 57% 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.
