Zhejiang University OF Technology

ZHEJIANG UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY has been granted 79 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing ZHEJIANG UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY at rank #4,500 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 78 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in C12N (MICROORGANISMS OR ENZYMES; COMPOSITIONS THEREOF; PROPAGATING, PRESERVING, OR MAINTAINING MICROORGANISMS; MUTATION OR GENETIC ENGINEERING; CULTURE MEDIA). As a Foreign Corporation, ZHEJIANG UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 60.8/100 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 59 grants, compared with 20 in the 2015–2019 window — a +195% 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 UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY's 8.1 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 78 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ZHEJIANG UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
