The verdict
Zhejiang holds 182 US patents across 103 technology areas, rank #2,171 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd. has been granted 182 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd. at rank #2,171 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 103 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60K (ARRANGEMENT OR MOUNTING OF PROPULSION UNITS OR OF TRANSMISSIONS IN VEHICLES; ARRANGEMENT OR MOUNTING OF PLURAL DIVERSE PRIME-MOVERS IN VEHICLES; AUXILIARY DRIVES FOR VEHICLES; INSTRUMENTATION OR DASHB). As a Foreign Corporation, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Zhejiang sits between Novelis Inc. (182 patents, rank #2,167) and Piaggio & C. SPA (181 patents, rank #2,175) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 68.9/100 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 164 grants, compared with 18 in the 2015–2019 window, a +811% 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. Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd.'s 9.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Zhejiang's 182 grants land it in the top 1% 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.
