Portfolio overview

Shanghai United Imaging Healthcare Co., Ltd. has been granted 825 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Shanghai United Imaging Healthcare Co., Ltd. at rank #542 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 73 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Shanghai United Imaging Healthcare Co., Ltd. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Shanghai sits between The Gillette Company Llc (830 patents, rank #538) and Industry-academic Cooperation Foundation, Yonsei University (823 patents, rank #546) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 69.0/100 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 731 grants, compared with 94 in the 2015–2019 window, a +678% 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 United Imaging Healthcare Co., Ltd.'s 18.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 73 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Shanghai United Imaging Healthcare Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Shanghai's 825 grants land it in the top 1% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Shanghai ranks #542 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in A61B - see who else leads that technology area. A61B leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
