CPC subclass G01T — MEASUREMENT OF NUCLEAR OR X-RADIATION — covers 6,488 US utility patents granted between 2015 and 2025 according to USPTO PatentsView records. This subclass sits within the broader CPC class G01 (MEASURING; TESTING), one of roughly 250 top-level technology categories in the Cooperative Patent Classification system jointly maintained by the USPTO and the European Patent Office. At the subclass level, four-character codes like G01T give the most practical resolution for tracking a specific technology domain without losing sight of adjacent filings. Every grant here has been classified by a USPTO examiner based on the technical disclosure in the patent specification.

The competitive landscape in G01T is shaped by 20 distinct companies actively filing in this space. Canon Kabushiki Kaisha leads with 308 patents, followed by Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. at 1,615 grants and SHENZHEN XPECTVISION TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. at 159. Concentration at the top of the leaderboard indicates whether this technology area is dominated by a handful of incumbents or fragmented across many filers — a useful signal for investors evaluating competitive moats and for product teams mapping freedom-to-operate risk.

Filing trajectory matters as much as static counts. The yearly series on this page plots grants from 2015 through 2025, highlighting whether innovation in G01T is accelerating, plateauing, or cooling. Technology areas with rising post-2020 activity often reflect emerging markets or new platform shifts, while declining filings can signal mature domains where incremental improvement has slowed. Researchers, licensing professionals, and competitive-intelligence teams use these patterns — together with the top-assignee distribution — to decide where to invest, where to license, and where to avoid entanglement. All counts on this page come directly from USPTO PatentsView and reflect US granted utility patents only.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CPC class G01T?
CPC subclass G01T covers MEASUREMENT OF NUCLEAR OR X-RADIATION. It belongs to CPC class G01 (MEASURING; TESTING). The Cooperative Patent Classification is a hierarchical system used by the USPTO and European Patent Office to categorize patents by technology.
How many patents have been filed in G01T?
6,488 US utility patents were granted in CPC subclass G01T between 2015 and 2025, based on USPTO PatentsView data.
Which company holds the most patents in G01T?
Canon Kabushiki Kaisha leads G01T with 308 patents, making it the most active assignee in this technology area.
How is patent data for G01T collected?
Patent data comes from USPTO PatentsView, a public research dataset maintained by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. It covers all US granted utility patents and assigns CPC codes based on the technology described in each patent.
What is the difference between CPC class and subclass?
A CPC class (e.g., G01) is a broad technology category. Subclasses like G01T provide finer granularity within that category. PlainPatent organizes data at the subclass level (4-character codes) for the most useful view of technology domains.
