Portfolio overview

ACER Incorporated has been granted 1,350 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing ACER Incorporated at rank #317 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 154 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, ACER Incorporated is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, ACER sits between Hubbell Incorporated (1,369 patents, rank #313) and Harman International Industries, Incorporated (1,341 patents, rank #321) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 64.7/100 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 846 grants, compared with 504 in the 2015–2019 window, a +68% 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. ACER Incorporated's 11.2 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ACER Incorporated against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

ACER's 1,350 grants land it in the top 2% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - ACER ranks #317 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in G06F - see who else leads that technology area. G06F leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
