USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 17 granted patents across 21 technology areas, active 2022–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G06T (IMAGE DATA PROCESSING OR GENERATION, IN GENERAL).
The verdict
Shenzhen holds 17 US patents across 21 technology areas, rank #17,168 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
SHENZHEN TECHNOLOGY UNIVERSITY has been granted 17 US utility patents between 2022 and 2025, placing SHENZHEN TECHNOLOGY UNIVERSITY at rank #17,168 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 21 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06T (IMAGE DATA PROCESSING OR GENERATION, IN GENERAL). As a Foreign Corporation, SHENZHEN TECHNOLOGY UNIVERSITY is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 51.5/100 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 2022 through 2025, with 17 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. SHENZHEN TECHNOLOGY UNIVERSITY's 8.9 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 21 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark SHENZHEN TECHNOLOGY UNIVERSITY against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Shenzhen's 17 grants land it in the top 11% 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.
