The verdict
Cheng holds 289 US patents across 76 technology areas, rank #1,442 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Cheng UEI Precision Industry Co., Ltd. has been granted 289 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Cheng UEI Precision Industry Co., Ltd. at rank #1,442 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 76 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01R (ELECTRICALLY-CONDUCTIVE CONNECTIONS; STRUCTURAL ASSOCIATIONS OF A PLURALITY OF MUTUALLY-INSULATED ELECTRICAL CONNECTING ELEMENTS; COUPLING DEVICES; CURRENT COLLECTORS). As a Foreign Corporation, Cheng UEI Precision Industry Co., Ltd. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Cheng sits between Dialog Semiconductor Inc. (290 patents, rank #1,438) and AJOU University Industry-academic Cooperation (288 patents, rank #1,446) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 56.9/100 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 150 grants, compared with 139 in the 2015–2019 window, a +8% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Cheng UEI Precision Industry Co., Ltd.'s 11.5 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 76 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Cheng UEI Precision Industry Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Cheng's 289 grants land it in the top 6% 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.
