USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 6 granted patents across 7 technology areas, active 2021–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: C07D (HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS).
The verdict
Zhejiang holds 6 US patents across 7 technology areas, rank #44,187 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Zhejiang Research Institute OF Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing Zhejiang Research Institute OF Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. at rank #44,187 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 7 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in C07D (HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS). As a Foreign Corporation, Zhejiang Research Institute OF Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Zhejiang sits between Zhejiang Kanglaite Group Co., Ltd. (6 patents, rank #44,183) and Zhongshan Xiaolan TOWN Yaoshuoli Lighting Factory (6 patents, rank #44,191) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 28.2/100 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 2021 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. Zhejiang Research Institute OF Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.'s 12.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 7 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Zhejiang Research Institute OF Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Zhejiang's 6 grants land it in the top 74% 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.
