Portfolio overview

AUO Corporation has been granted 149 US utility patents between 2023 and 2025, placing AUO Corporation at rank #2,604 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 45 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G09G (ARRANGEMENTS OR CIRCUITS FOR CONTROL OF INDICATING DEVICES USING STATIC MEANS TO PRESENT VARIABLE INFORMATION). As a Foreign Corporation, AUO Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, AUO sits between Vesture Llc (150 patents, rank #2,600) and Innovation, Llc (149 patents, rank #2,608) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 69.5/100 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. Historical data spans 2023 through 2025, with 149 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. AUO Corporation's 14.1 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 AUO Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

AUO's 149 grants land it in the top 1% 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 - AUO ranks #2,604 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in G09G - see who else leads that technology area. G09G 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.
