The verdict
Benq holds 35 US patents across 18 technology areas, rank #8,986 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
BenQ Intelligent Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd has been granted 35 US utility patents between 2019 and 2023, placing BenQ Intelligent Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd at rank #8,986 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 18 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.3 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, BenQ Intelligent Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 42.8/100 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 33 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +1550% 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. BenQ Intelligent Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd's 16.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 18 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark BenQ Intelligent Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Benq's 35 grants land it in the top 30% 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.
