USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 111 granted patents across 94 technology areas, active 2016–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: Y02P (CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION TECHNOLOGIES IN THE PRODUCTION OR PROCESSING OF GOODS).
The verdict
University holds 111 US patents across 94 technology areas, rank #3,362 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
University Of Science And Technology Beijing has been granted 111 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing University Of Science And Technology Beijing at rank #3,362 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 94 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02P (CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION TECHNOLOGIES IN THE PRODUCTION OR PROCESSING OF GOODS). As a Foreign Corporation, University Of Science And Technology Beijing is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, University sits between Sagemcom Energy & Telecom SAS (111 patents, rank #3,358) and Boston Scientific Limited (110 patents, rank #3,366) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 62.4/100 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 99 grants, compared with 12 in the 2015–2019 window, a +725% 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. University Of Science And Technology Beijing's 8.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 94 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark University Of Science And Technology Beijing against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
University's 111 grants land it in the top 2% 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.
