USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 92 granted patents across 59 technology areas, active 2016–2024. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G02B (OPTICAL ELEMENTS, SYSTEMS OR APPARATUS).
The verdict
BOE holds 92 US patents across 59 technology areas, rank #3,906 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
BOE Optical Science And Technology Co., Ltd. has been granted 92 US utility patents between 2016 and 2024, placing BOE Optical Science And Technology Co., Ltd. at rank #3,906 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 59 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G02B (OPTICAL ELEMENTS, SYSTEMS OR APPARATUS). As a Foreign Corporation, BOE Optical Science And Technology Co., Ltd. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, BOE sits between ABB Ag (92 patents, rank #3,902) and Dreamworks Animation Llc (92 patents, rank #3,910) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.2/100 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 20 grants, compared with 72 in the 2015–2019 window, a -72% 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. BOE Optical Science And Technology Co., Ltd.'s 15.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 59 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark BOE Optical Science And Technology Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
BOE's 92 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.
