Portfolio overview

ZIN Technologies, Inc. has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2015 and 2020, placing ZIN Technologies, Inc. at rank #44,194 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 9 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in G10K (SOUND-PRODUCING DEVICES; METHODS OR DEVICES FOR PROTECTING AGAINST, OR FOR DAMPING, NOISE OR OTHER ACOUSTIC WAVES IN GENERAL; ACOUSTICS NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a US Corporation, ZIN Technologies, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, ZIN sits between Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University (6 patents, rank #44,190) and Zodiac Actuation Systems (6 patents, rank #44,198) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 28.4/100 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 2 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a -50% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. The US 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. ZIN Technologies, Inc.'s 18.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 9 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ZIN Technologies, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
