The verdict
Sinopec holds 6 US patents across 9 technology areas, rank #42,906 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Sinopec Petroleum Engineering Technology Service Co., Ltd has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2023 and 2025, placing Sinopec Petroleum Engineering Technology Service Co., Ltd at rank #42,906 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 9 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in E21B (EARTH OR ROCK DRILLING; OBTAINING OIL, GAS, WATER, SOLUBLE OR MELTABLE MATERIALS OR A SLURRY OF MINERALS FROM WELLS). As a Foreign Corporation, Sinopec Petroleum Engineering Technology Service Co., Ltd is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Sinopec sits between Singapore Volition PTE. Limited (6 patents, rank #42,902) and Sirman S.p.a. (6 patents, rank #42,910) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 45.6/100 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 2023 through 2025, with 6 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. Sinopec Petroleum Engineering Technology Service Co., Ltd's 13.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 9 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Sinopec Petroleum Engineering Technology Service Co., Ltd against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Sinopec's 6 grants land it in the top 23% 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.
