USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 92 granted patents across 36 technology areas, active 2018–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: B60R (VEHICLES, VEHICLE FITTINGS, OR VEHICLE PARTS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR).
The verdict
Shanghai holds 92 US patents across 36 technology areas, rank #3,944 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Shanghai Yanfeng Jinqiao Automotive Trim Systems Co. Ltd. has been granted 92 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing Shanghai Yanfeng Jinqiao Automotive Trim Systems Co. Ltd. at rank #3,944 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 36 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60R (VEHICLES, VEHICLE FITTINGS, OR VEHICLE PARTS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a US Corporation, Shanghai Yanfeng Jinqiao Automotive Trim Systems Co. Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Shanghai sits between Safran Landing Systems UK Ltd. (92 patents, rank #3,940) and Veeco Instruments Inc. (92 patents, rank #3,948) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 55.7/100 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 69 grants, compared with 23 in the 2015–2019 window, a +200% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The US 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 Yanfeng Jinqiao Automotive Trim Systems Co. Ltd.'s 19.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, 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 Yanfeng Jinqiao Automotive Trim Systems Co. Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Shanghai's 92 grants land it in the top 7% 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.
