Portfolio overview
ZHEJIANG E-P EQUIPMENT CO., LTD. has been granted 26 US utility patents between 2020 and 2024, placing ZHEJIANG E-P EQUIPMENT CO., LTD. at rank #11,887 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 6.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in B66F (HOISTING, LIFTING, HAULING OR PUSHING, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR, e.g. DEVICES WHICH APPLY A LIFTING OR PUSHING FORCE DIRECTLY TO THE SURFACE OF A LOAD). As a Foreign Corporation, ZHEJIANG E-P EQUIPMENT CO., LTD. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 31.2/100 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 2020 through 2024, with 26 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. ZHEJIANG E-P EQUIPMENT CO., LTD.'s 6.5 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ZHEJIANG E-P EQUIPMENT CO., LTD. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
