USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 9 granted patents across 5 technology areas, active 2016–2019. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H05B (ELECTRIC HEATING; ELECTRIC LIGHT SOURCES NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENTS FOR ELECTRIC LIGHT SOURCES, IN GENERAL).
The verdict
Zhejiang holds 9 US patents across 5 technology areas, rank #30,638 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Zhejiang Ledison Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2016 and 2019, placing Zhejiang Ledison Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. at rank #30,638 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 2.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in H05B (ELECTRIC HEATING; ELECTRIC LIGHT SOURCES NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENTS FOR ELECTRIC LIGHT SOURCES, IN GENERAL). As a Foreign Corporation, Zhejiang Ledison Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Zhejiang sits between Zhejiang Dafeng Industry Co., Ltd. (9 patents, rank #30,634) and Zhejiang Sanhua Commercial Refrigeration Controls Co., Ltd. (9 patents, rank #30,642) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 17.3/100 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 0 grants, compared with 9 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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 Ledison Optoelectronics Co., Ltd.'s 2.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 5 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Zhejiang Ledison Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Zhejiang's 9 grants land it in the top 96% 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.
