USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 124 granted patents across 45 technology areas, active 2015–2022. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H01L (SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES NOT COVERED BY CLASS H10).
The verdict
ASM holds 124 US patents across 45 technology areas, rank #3,055 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
ASM Technology Singapore PTE Ltd has been granted 124 US utility patents between 2015 and 2022, placing ASM Technology Singapore PTE Ltd at rank #3,055 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 45 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01L (SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES NOT COVERED BY CLASS H10). As a Foreign Corporation, ASM Technology Singapore PTE Ltd is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, ASM sits between UCL Business Ltd (125 patents, rank #3,051) and Beijing Goldwind Science & Creation Windpower Equipment Co., Ltd. (124 patents, rank #3,059) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 50.8/100 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 35 grants, compared with 89 in the 2015–2019 window, a -61% 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. ASM Technology Singapore PTE Ltd's 14.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 45 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ASM Technology Singapore PTE Ltd against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
ASM's 124 grants land it in the top 12% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
