Geopolymer Concrete Quality Control Patent Snapshot
Patent activity in geopolymer concrete quality control is nascent, with only 8 patent families in scope and virtually all filings concentrated in 2023–2026. The field is highly fragmented among small firms, individual inventors, and academic institutions, with no single dominant route having yet established a commanding position.
PROTECTGD LLC leads a fragmented, early-stage field
PROTECTGD LLC holds the top position with 2 patent records, ahead of a group of eight other filers — including Huazhong University of Science and Technology, individual inventors, and several Indian academic institutions — each holding 1 patent record.
The top five filers collectively account for 60% of the ranked applicants visible in this query’ combined total, a high concentration ratio given the extremely small corpus size; this reflects the field’s immaturity rather than entrenched incumbency.

The leaders’ positions are thin: a single new filing by any actor could materially shift relative standing, which means first-mover advantages are not yet locked in and entry costs remain low.
Filings from 2025 onward are likely under-counted due to standard patent publication lag; the true recent activity level is probably higher than the corpus currently reflects. Longer-window growth, applicant concentration, and technology-route coverage are therefore more reliable signals than the latest-year bar alone.
Activity ignited after 2022; ceramics and cement IPC dominates the technology mix
The two charts below capture when filings began and which technical branches they cluster in — both are essential context for assessing where the field stands today.
Annual filing trend
No filings were recorded from 2017 through 2022; activity began in 2023 and accelerated through 2025. The 2025–2026 bars are subject to publication lag and almost certainly understate true recent volume.

C04B (Ceramics, cement and refractories) is overwhelmingly visible with 7 patent records, confirming that quality control innovation is grounded in binder chemistry and mix formulation. Secondary branches — solid waste disposal (B09B), shaping processes (B28B), material analysis and testing (G01N), and AI-based computing (G06N) — each appear with only 1 patent record, signalling that sensing, process control, and data-driven QC remain largely unexplored in the patent literature.

Method for manufacturing geopolymer concrete compo…
This invention relates to a method for producing construction components from Geopolymer materials, primarily using fly ash, which can be partially or fully replaced by other materials such as metakaolin, zeolite, rice husk ash, red mud, or industrial by-products. The method involves preparing a mixture of fly ash or Geopolymer materials (80-99.75% by… (excerpt from the patent abstract)

Some patent titles may be shown in their original, non-English language where an accurate translation could not be guaranteed.
Assignee snapshot from the current evidence set
The applicants below are visible in this query result. Because the evidence set is relatively small, read this section as a directional snapshot rather than a full competitive ranking.
PROTECTGD LLC
PROTECTGD LLC holds 2 patent records — the highest count in this corpus — focused entirely within C04B (Ceramics, cement and refractories), covering formulation and performance characteristics. It entered as a new entrant with no prior-period filing history, so its current lead is recent and not yet consolidated. Its trajectory is described as a new entrant.
patent records: 2Huazhong University of Science and Technology
Huazhong University of Science and Technology holds 1 patent record, but its technical emphasis sets it apart: it is the only filer focusing on G01N (Material analysis and testing) subclasses, covering electrochemical and compositional sensing methods. This positions it as the sole patent actor approaching quality control from an analytical instrumentation angle. It also entered as a new entrant with no prior-period baseline.
patent records: 1Frequently asked questions
The current corpus contains 8 patent families in scope. This is a very small corpus, indicating the topic is at an early formation stage in terms of formal patent activity.
PROTECTGD LLC leads with 2 patent records, focused on C04B (Ceramics, cement and refractories) subclasses covering binder formulation and performance. All other filers hold 1 patent record each.
No filings were recorded between 2017 and 2022. Activity began in 2023 and has grown through 2025 and into 2026, though recent years are likely under-counted due to publication lag.
India leads with 3 patent records, followed by the United States with 2 records. Australia, China, and WIPO (PCT) each have 1 patent record, suggesting some early interest in multi-jurisdictional protection.
The only co-filing relationships observed are within the Rayat Bahra institutional cluster in India — Rayat Bahra University, Rayat Bahra Professional University Hoshiarpur, and Bahra University have each co-filed with the others. No industry-academia or cross-border co-filing pairs appear in the evidence.
The visible branch is C04B (formulation and binder chemistry). Material analysis and testing (G01N) and AI-based quality prediction (G06N) each appear in only 1 patent record, representing sparse adjacent branches where entry by instrumentation or data science-focused organizations would face minimal existing patent density.

Patent data carries inherent limitations: recent filings (typically the most recent 18–24 months) are under-counted due to standard publication lag; counts may be reported at either a patent-family or a patent-record basis and are not always directly comparable; classification, applicant-name, and citation data may contain errors, duplicates, or omissions; and the underlying search query defines and constrains the scope shown. As a result, the analysis may be incomplete or inaccurate and may not reflect the full technology landscape.
