Portfolio overview
ABILITY OPTO-ELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. has been granted 363 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing ABILITY OPTO-ELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. at rank #1,170 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 32 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 23.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in G02B (OPTICAL ELEMENTS, SYSTEMS OR APPARATUS). As a Foreign Corporation, ABILITY OPTO-ELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 56.6/100 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 112 grants, compared with 251 in the 2015–2019 window — a -55% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. ABILITY OPTO-ELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.'s 23.3 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 32 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ABILITY OPTO-ELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
