Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 18,263 granted patents across 356 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G09G (ARRANGEMENTS OR CIRCUITS FOR CONTROL OF INDICATING DEVICES USING STATIC MEANS TO PRESENT VARIABLE INFORMATION).
The verdict
BOE ranks #16 of 50,000 US assignees, with 18,263 patents across 356 technology areas.
BOE Technology Group Co., Ltd. has been granted 18,263 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing BOE Technology Group Co., Ltd. at rank #16 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 356 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.8 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, BOE Technology Group Co., Ltd. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, BOE sits between Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha (21,526 patents, rank #12) and Hyundai Motor Company (15,033 patents, rank #20) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 74.3/100 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 11,842 grants, compared with 6,421 in the 2015–2019 window, a +84% 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. BOE Technology Group Co., Ltd.'s 15.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, 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 BOE Technology Group Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
BOE's 18,263 grants land it in the top 0.1% 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.
